Ocelot II

(131,050 posts) Sun Apr 26, 2026, 01:38 PM Sunday

I love it when my cats sleep on my lap. [View all]

But not both of them at the same time. They are large. Not fat, just big; they weigh 13-14 lbs. each, a cat and a half. Until a few minutes ago this was my lap. I couldn't move or use my laptop and my legs went to sleep. But did I move them? No, I did not. They finally decided they needed to move to a window to watch some squirrels. It's nice to get my circulation and laptop back.
