Cat doing cat things
“Adopted our very first cat last weekend. I was worried we’d get a non-friendly cat who was very standoffish, but she’s an angel. She’s interested in everything, no problem with being picked up, wants to be cradled like a baby, vibrates all the time, and… stops me from working or playing on my PC.” – reddit
