I’ll ask if he’s got any sleeping pix of her and send him over here to post. > > Everyone’s got such cute doggies and kitties! Heisenburg’s Uncertainty Principle of Schroedinger’s cat states that any attempt to measure cuteness of a kitty will cause said kitty to stop whatever cute thing she is doing and stare at the camera. [Nikita’s](http://photobucket.com/albums/c146/katschohl/Nikita/) Corollary states that the cat will start licking herself, too. For ten minutes. Making photography of little furry critters an unbelievably time-consuming affair. ---

Pity. I’m so allergic to cats that this thread might make me have to take Benadryl. And cats _luuuuuuv_ me. My lap belongs to an orange cat named Georgie. He lets me feed him when I visit the guy that he owns. Then he demands that I sit down and let him jump into my lap for some petting. After that I do a surgical scrub.
