William and I had a fight over which of us would occupy the recliner.
I won.
William retaliated by sitting on the keyboard and retitling this post.
I should have trashed it. Instead, I publish it as an example of the limitations under which I operate.
Thanks for my day’s first belly laugh. Loved it.

Thanks, Pat. I’m glad we helped start your day off right. I laughed too–later. William is curled up in my lap now. My left elbow and wrist are bent at angles sure to end in carpal tunnel syndrome. But he’s my kid, and he does keep me in blog topics.

I think what William said is right on.
Even though I think he went overboard when he called you a chair thief (in catspeak, of course).

Yes, William has a knack for finding the proper word at the proper time. He also has a knack for jumping into the chair just as I start to lower myself into it. I’ve explained that’s a good way to get himself squashed, but he’s not much on listening. He just uncurled himself and stretched out so he has access to the touch pad. Wonder what our next post will be about.

William looks so much like my cat Maggie.
Are you sure they aren’t lost royal twins separated at birth who are supposed to inherit the Balkan kingdom of Catatonia?

That could very well be. William actually came to as as William of Orange (aka William of Orange Cream Soda). He probably has other titles as well. Think we could help them stage a coup? I’d like to retire to a summer castle in the Balkans.

This made me laugh, Kathy! My dog companion, Duffy, seems to have the same claim to my recliner. However, he has yet to type for me! Ah, the travails of an at-home author. I have to tell you that for various reasons, there are days that if I didn’t work from my recliner, I might not work at all. So, Duffy & I have frequent territory negotiations. He gets to remain on recliner IF he makes room for me too.

Sounds like Duffy and William have much in common. I’ll bet Duffy is pleased to have you home all day. Sometimes the cats are so pleased with my company I have to go to a bookstore coffee shop to get anything done. But what would we do without our friends?

It’s true. Writers do have to suffer for their work. William is actually a very good writer.
