That's quite a lot of money for a cat-seat

The Laptop of Heavenly Perfection - you remember that? - is smooth and luscious, charcoal-grey carbon fibre, almost velvety to the touch. Except that the lid of it has a number of little marks on it, which I'm sure it used not to have. I am fairly sure that these are the marks of cat-claws: not used aggressively, just inevitable contact as Barry comes or goes. For yes, Barry does love to sit on the LHP.

To be specific about the depth of this love: the LHP is currently in the nylon document-case that I'm using as a mock sleeve, to try to protect it from rain and snow and cat-claws and such. The document-case is on my desk, on a pile of papers. There's another pile of papers on top of the document-case; also the corner of a cardboard box, a copy of Dracula and a roll of sellotape. This leaves a bare five-inch square of identifiable document-case. Which Barry is currently sitting on. Determinedly.

My Dru cat also likes laptop bags. If a vanity case gets put on the floor that looks slightly like a laptop bag, she knocks it flat so that she can sit on it. Also Waterstones carriers. I think they just have to be black.

Well, with a name like Dru, a colour like black...

I have found that my cats [and probably all cats] are at least as stubborn as they are curious.

Whoo, yeah. If anything kills these two, it won't be curiosity...
