Most people won't understand why we let our two cats sit on the table while we eat a meal. Unsanitary, stupid, whatever. Anyway, both do it almost everyday, but only during lunch. It's that meal when we usually have sandwiches, so we haul out all of the necessary "fixins" and spread them about the table, usually in some sort of barrier, to keep the cats from getting too close to us while we eat. They don't want any of the food, they just want to join us, as a part of their family. Note I said "their". What Boots was doing when I took this was to lay her head on the cool pickle jar, and when she did she quickly fell asleep...until I got my camera out.
