I think those master-and-overlord fur babies can cause human blood clotting from you remaining motionless for too many hours, because heaven forbid that you dare to move a limb and upset part of their 18 hour sleeping day.

You may want to consider getting a Life-Alert necklace, that way if you have a heart attack or stroke you won't have to inconvenience the furbabies by moving out of the recliner until the EMT's ring your doorbell.

get the red out

I currently have a dog, but I think she could stand to share.

My sister used to have a cat she referred to as her "lap fungus" because that's where she always was, as if she had formed there.

mojo is a whole genus of lap fungus to herself. the minute one of us sits down, anywhere in the house, she'll show up. the other 3 are as they feel the need for a human heater. sometimes the others are lying on the heater vents(heater humping) and the living room is cold, mojo will show up faster
