Cats

Whenever my roommate leaves for more than half an hour, my cat gets seriously touch-deprived. She doesn't like to harrass me too much, or appear to actually want attention, so she does the most logical thing one could think of. She sits so that her butt is pushed against me but she faces another direction, as if it is complete coincidence that we are actually in contact. Right now, we are sitting butt-to-butt on my bed. She is facing the wall, not moving. She is purring very quietly. I wish men were more like this sometimes.
