KITTY LETTER

Here I sit, trying to work with a warm, purring tabby kitten in my lap. This morning she has been testing. Can she walk on the keyboard? No! Can she swat my fingers when I type? No! Can she wander around on the desk, swishing papers on to the floor? No! No! No!

Can she cuddle purring in my lap? Well, what can I say? She has given up her program of harassment and chosen another tack. It’s a little like getting a love letter. You just have to pay attention, no matter what you are doing. How is it that a little kitten can learn negotiation and collaboration so easily, while we humans find it so challenging?
