kitty duty

knox says this happens daily. he'll be sitting at the kitchen table working, and bob will come in, yapping at him (bob is a very noisy cat). he'll circle knox's legs, hop up on the table, walk across the keyboard, all the while yapping away. eventually knox will give in and stand up. then bob darts off, still yapping. sometimes he just wants water (from the bathroom sink, we have spoiled this cat so), but more often than not, he runs straight to the bedroom, turning to make sure knox is behind him, yap-yap-yapping away, and then stops at the edge of the bed. looks at knox. looks at the bed. looks back at knox. still yapping...

knox says that he sits down and within 15 seconds bob is in this position. wait another 5 minutes from the point at which this shot was taken, and he's sound asleep.

we call it "kitty duty."

knox gets a lot of reading done here, so he's hardly averse to indulging bob. you should see the pile of french philosophy books on his bedside table. if it were me, i'd nap. no doubt about it. i guess that's why i leave for the library every day...
