My Devoted and Beloved Followers

Currently I am ensconced in a one bedroom apartment. There are 3 actual rooms: the bedroom, the bathroom, and the combination living/dining/kitchen. You could say 4 rooms in you count the little closet where the washer and dryer are situated. Actually this apartment has a fairly large closet too. If I had kids, I could put them in the closet with a mattress and call it a room.

Basically there are two places to sit, the bedroom and the living room. You can see one from the other. The small desk is in the bedroom and that is where my computer sits and plugs into the internet. Often I am at the computer for hours. Both cats sleep on the bed, occasionally coming to the end of the bed where I can reach them and they sit there to get some belly rubs and head pats.

When I go out to the living room to sit, I am only there 2 or 3 minutes before both cats come out to sit on the sofa or chair next to me. I head back into the bedroom for some more computer work and in 2 or 3 minutes, both cats are back on the bed. I have tested this and they do not tire of moving from room to room with me. They will keep up with me for hours. The only time they are not following me from room to room is when they are busy eating or busy with the end result of eating.

When we lived in a large 4 bedroom house with 3 floors, often it was a task to find any of the cats. They had their favorite spots and couldn't be budged from them unless food were offered. Then we started our moving from place to place. First few days in hotels, they were under the bed all the time. next couple of weeks in a house, and again they were anywhere but with me, finding places to sun, places to sleep, places to hide. How odd that it seems like the smaller the location, the more they must stick to my side. I would say it is because they just love me so much and want to be near me. However it's probably more like some cat psyche thing they are trying to tell me like "we hate small places and are going to bug you until you find a bigger place". Who knows what goes on in a cat's mind.
