Two Sleepy Torties

Two Sleepy Torties

My tortie girls, my sweet seniors Cookie, 18, and Kelly, 16, curl comfortably on my lap after dinner. Well, comfortable for them, but I do have to turn sideways so they can fit without spilling onto my keyboard, and still Cookie uses my hand for a pillow so I can’t be mousing around too boisterously. I catch myself rolling the mouse around in unique patterns and typing with one hand so I don’t disturb Cookie, and holding my legs at the right angle so Kelly won’t slip off. I am a little less productive in my work, but fully utilized as a cat bed.

Giuseppe and Jelly Bean especially sleep on the desk and check now and then to see if my lap is open. My evening is pre-planned.

I had to hold my big DSLR camera above my head with my right hand AND click the shutter without being able to see the image to take this photo. Needless to say, it took a few tries.
