As in your dh calls you to bring him such and such, you yell back, I can't I have COL!!! Cat On Lap!!! My sister saw something like this in a cartoon in the paper recently. I think we all suffer from it! I know I do, just ask my dh! Donna

You bet. Many is the snack that has been sacrificed, the bladder that has suffered, the commercials that have been suffered through, the housework that doesn't get done...

I saw that cartoon, too. It's called Pickles. Old couple w/a cat. Not normally one of my fave comics, but the woman does have the right idea when it comes to cats. LOL

LOL! My mother says she is holding the baby. My poor kitties don't get a lot of lap time since I am up and down. But when I am sick they sure take advantage of their mom laying around.

yes i do! I am always asking dh to get this,bring me that cause I have Angel on my lap and can't move. LOL... he does too cause he doesn't want to disturb her either. LOL.... crazy kitty parents.

A Native American Grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt. The grandson said... "Grandfather, I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is a vengeful,violent,hateful one, the other wolf is a loving compassionate,caring one.

I most certainly suffer from COL, and KFMAOTA (Kitten following Mommy all over the Apartment!! LOL) I literally, and dh sometimes too, CANNOT go to the bathroom, take a shower, make dinner, or scrap or anything else without Pipsqueak following us all over the house. He spends probably 95 percent of the time on my lap while I am awake OR sleeping (or shall I rephrase that to say, TRYING to sleep, as he wakes me up an average of 4-10 times a night????)

When I let Amber in, I suffer from this as well. But I mostly suffer from DCW - dead cat weight - as I can pretty much sit down and get up whenever I need to but I have to move Amber off my lap onto the couch as she's DCW when she snuggles. Basically, once she plops down on my lap, she doesn't move unless she needs to go back outside. Perhaps this is the same thing as COL though? ??? I always figure that other cats will move if you all need to get up but maybe they don't. My situation is not so much about not wanting to disturb Amber as it's more about she just doesn't budge for anything. LOL

I tried this one on my DH - who immediately figured out what COL was. LOL However, it didn't save me from having to get up from the couch!

I wish I suffered from COL, but Bob won't sit on my lap.

Pipsqueak is a cute name. Suits your busy little kitten! The funny thing about cats, when/if Pipsqueak was to stop sleeping with you- you would miss him and probally wouldn't sleep a wink!!! Donna
