a Kosmas post

I have consulted my poll and cats are the winner (after a hard-fought contest with math and ticky boxes), so here is a picture of Kosmas:



I have loved many cats in my life, but I think Kosmas is the first to decide that I am their specific favorite human. When I work from home, he sits on my lap (as shown here) or beside my desk. His most adorable, though not his most convenient, trait is a fondness for sharing my pillow. He'll ask to be let under the covers, then turn around until our heads are side by side and I'm cuddling him like a teddy bear. It's lovely to wake up to a soft, steady purr. It's less lovely when I'm having trouble finding a comfortable position and half the space is claimed by an enthusiastic orange tabby. In extreme cases, I've resorted to a decoy pillow.
