@gmc Oh, you have a diva cat who wants to be the focus of attention whenever it suits her! :-) Sweet, but not very helpful. May be see a picture?
@JenGeorge that's sweet. A writing companion who doesn't interfere with your work - ideal! May be see a picture of him?
@cadi May we see a pic of your cat? Maybe even one of her playing with your brushes? 🙂

Question for #writers: do your #cats help or hinder your #writing?

My #luckyblackcat Sulu likes to lie on the desk between my arms and watch me type. He also accompanies me when I research abandoned buildings for my creepy Gothic stories.

What about yours? Do they also take a benign interest? Or they try to distract you when you want to concentrate, or do they lie on the keyboard when you're trying to write? Or are they too busy napping to care?

@Fredatron His purr isn't loud, but once he starts, he keeps going.
@Fredatron I was worried how he would fit in. Sometimes, the established cats reject a newcomer, and sometimes, the newcomer acts like a bully. The rescuer had described his personality, so I was pretty sure he'd fit in, but she also promised that it didn't work out, she'd take him back and find him a new home. Having this option was reassuring.
As soon as the cats met, it was clear that the new kitten was a good fit. Such a relief!

Here are Uhura (Yura for short) and Janice.

T'Pau got her name because of her serene confidence and dignity, even as a kitten

That's a possibility, too. I think I'll run the vacuum cleaner and see how he reacts. He may flee like most cats... but if he goes to investigate how the motor works, he's going to be a Scotty!

Young McCoy got his name because he loved medical things - syringes, pill boxes - liked to lie on my covid mask (see picture) and enjoyed getting injections from the vet.😂
