jaebae After spending a good 16 hours in my basement office, my feet were stinging cold. When I climbed into bed to continue reading my John Varley novel, I kept being distracted by two thingsmy feet, of course, and my cat, Biscuit.
I solved the feet problem by nuking one of those gel packs. My feet were then warming up under the covers, but Biscuit was still doing her best to let me know First, its blocking my path and mewing, and slithering in and out of my ankles. Then its jumping on the bed to await me, still talking in her little kitty voice. She never ceases to be excited when I announce its bedtime. Maybe she has a short term memory and forgot that she did the same thing last night and the night before, and on into every previous night since her adoption. I wish i could remain that enthused by something i do every single day of my life.
she knew it was bedtime, and thats when she begins her rituals.
Biscuit also likes to lay on the top of the recliner, her legs dangling on either side 
(see photographic illustration). I think she might also have Borderline Personality Disorder(Ive always thought that label was misleadingits like I almost have a personalty, but not quiteIm right on the border) anyway, I think she might be BPD, because she gets all up in my fruit loops all the time, but when I try to pet her, she pulls away. Shes better about that than she used to be, but reallywhen Im trying to type, she does a little waltz across the desk in front of me, careful to use her tail as a feather duster, under my nose, and also as a thing-knocker-over, and once when I had a candle on the desk–to my momentary horror, she almost allowed her tail to be Keeper of the Flame.
This frequent attention seeking always ends in her escaping too much affection. She wants it but doesnt want it, at the same time. She also disappears when I have company and doesnt trust anyone–except me, but only a little. Thats Social Anxiety Disorder. So she has SAD, BPD and OCD. She reminds me of most of my ex-girlfriends.
