Only at the most inconvenient times.

Is this a problem?

When “they” alleged that cats and dogs were being eaten.

How cute. A right shoulder cat. A perfect match for our left shoulder cat.

Be happy. He wuvs you.

That is what claws are for.

Adorable! The best kind of cat!

Once the weather turned cold. I’ll let go in spring and pretend I don’t know you.

Just remember, you don’t PULL a cat off, you PUSH it off.

A Heater Cat. Looking for heat. Even if it annoys you less blocking the newspaper than a screen device.

Not sure about the barnacle. I wouldn’t recommend getting him wet right now.

Barnacle, parasite, cat… all the same?

In my house it’s called a big-boy hug.

At least barnacles generally don’t do any significant harm to what they are attached to.

From my teen years, when dinosaurs walked the Earth and Nixon (or maybe Ford) was President, I remember my family’s latest kitten tugging at my trousers leg one day as I stood at the kitchen counter … and an instant later, before I could turn my head to look, the kitten was sitting on my shoulder.

Lap fungus is a common technical term for this phenomenon.

I have two barnacle cats. The solid gray and the solid black don’t like to be picked up. They are indoor feral.
