So I give you Crunch, our favorite tabby who has a habit of laying claim to people’s shoes. Give him half a chance and he’ll claim yours. This particular episode happened one day after work when my husband was changing out of his work clothes. Just try putting your shoes away when the cat’s glaring at you like that.

Crunch also has a habit of laying claim to computer bags and backpacks, anything you might want to carry your goods in. I caught him yesterday sleeping on my computer sleep sleeve.

But what are you going to do? He’s lovable cat, full of purrs and kitty kisses.

Of course right now he’s playing the despot, waiting near the staircase with a glare in his eye that says “feed me.”

Typical cat!
