I've got an assistant today / myLot

Northampton, England

Pandora usually curls up in the garden, watching over her land and her people. For the past few days, she's made a nest, just inside the gate from where she can supervise the comings and goings. But today it's raining and she wants to be my best friend. I'll be fine so long as I don't need too many of the keys on the far left of the keyboard, or any of the spreadsheet printouts that she's nested on.

@boiboing 'Meowllo? No, she's napping. Take a message? I would but I am busy plotting world domination."

@Jessicalynnt That's about the size of it.

If I could only get her to take calls and make notes, she'd be perfect.

I bet she likes the proximity to you and the warmth of the machine. Cute.

She's a daddy's girl. Normally her son is all over me but she's quite aloof.

@boiboing Sweet you have more than one, to share the affection and cuteness.

@boiboing They really are the centre of their own universes - a bit like us.

Solipsism is a wonderful thing

@boiboing but only out own solipsism of course, not anyone else's.

I'd like to have a cat on my desk.

She's the least demanding of my three cats when it comes to seeking attention.

Why is she not in the middle of your keyboard, where she belongs? I see her as a (cute) slacker.

You just can't get the staff these days.

Naturally, she'll also feel obligated to assist you by slamming her head under your hands as you type as well!

@boiboing - She must have went to the same school as my assistant!

She's just holding those papers down for you, and keeping the keyboard warm : )

Isn't it wonderful to be loved on a rainy day? Love the photo and story.

She is far too well trained. She should be all over that keyboard, or at least curled up in your lap, making it difficult to do anything. :)

I love cats when they cover up their noses with their paws - or their tails. Lucky you to have such an assistant. :)

So cute. My assistant failed to follow me out to the garden today for some reason. I have to go searching for him I guess.

As long as she allows you to use the mouse (cue the video I sent you on that other social site!). It looks like she is dreaming up little tasks for you!
