Cats have minds of their own.
We have 2. We have coffee and read the newspaper in bed every morning. Dasher waits until I finish the newspaper to climb up on my chest and purrs, insists on petting -- if I don't pet him right, he reaches his paw up to my face. Every once in a while, he gets his paw in my mouth. If the newspaper is lengthy, he sits and stares at me until I put it down. Then, his brother jumps up and lays on the newspapers.....he LOVES the newspapers. Sometimes we have the leave the paper on the bed most of the day. Dasher insists on fresh water out of the bathroom faucet and Donner wants fresh water out of the faucet in the bathtub. We can put fresh water in their dish (in the bathtub, btw) but they don't want that, they want fresh RUNNING water!
