So, last year my wife and I adopted a cat. His name is Baloo. No, we did not name him…that was the fault of the people that had him before us. Poor guy had been taken to the shelter and was desperately looking for a family. I love him to pieces, but he can be an incredible distraction.

The other day I heard a ‘murr’ (he can’t meow, the cat’s stuck on vibrate) from behind me, but I was writing. Then a paw batted at the back of my head, and I turned to see…this.

The entertainment center is less than 6 inches behind me, and he wanted attention. I love him, but this is NOT the best thing for my ability to concentrate.
