Buffy likes to sit on my lap when I'm in front of the computer. She
gets scritches and purrs and gives my hand little kisses.
She's not very fond of visitors but she does come out to investigate. I
had to have the AC repaired last month (just in time not to need it!)
and she was curious about the guy who was working in the attic. She had
no idea there were magic stairs that descend from the ceiling in the
hallway! That sort of freaked her out.
She hid most of the time until he sat down to create the receipt. Then
she decided she wanted to meet him. She marched right up and started
winding around his legs. He said, "I don't like animals." I didn't
believe him for one minute. He tried very hard not to laugh while
giving her scritches around her ears and under her chin.
