After almost two weeks away from home on vacation from me the house cats Mister Mittens and her two kids Trouble the tom and her daughter Shiloh are back for some of the usual action. And here is how it works:

The bride is at her PC desk. The momcat jumps onto the sofa at her right and sits. The wife says "OK" and the cat steps over onto her lap and flops. The cat catches some great brushings and pettings.

Meantime a second cat gets on the sofa to sit (Trouble or Shiloh but their mother goes first) while awaiting its turn to step onto the wife's lap while a third cat sits behind the wife's chair awaiting its turn to get on the sofa when the second cat is on the wife's lap to catch a brushing.

Damndest thing you ever saw: a smooth-running assembly line of affectionate cats looking for some great action from a sweet girl.
