You’ve chosen quite a cozy spot, Astrid. My kitties say that computers are great for napping! Humans spend to much time on computers anyway, right? MOL
That’s one way to make sure your the centre of attention!
That’s a very good reason. Purrs
Oh, MY!! Minko is almost in the same spot here, MOL! But…petcretary types over top of him, tee-hee!
Astrid, you are so pretty,and yes, wise:)
Ha ha. Way to enforce those rules, Astrid!
Very pretty photo of Astrid.
Astrid, we would take a picture of you over any words on Wednesday any time!
No writing today! Very cute! 😀
Astrid, that’s one of my favorite places to lay too. Though sometimes I get in trouble because I screw up the laptop by pressing on too many buttons. ~Ernie
BEST and TRUEST WORDLESS WEDNESDAY EVER!!!! PURRFECT!
Hahaha! Now we understand!
We love that you keep the Wordless Wednesday wordless!! We actually suggested once for Blog Paws to “reinforce” the idea of Wordless Wednesday – because it was a great blog hop even before it entered the catosphere… Well. Anyways. We love your picture and yes, that’s a great reason why many stories are untold when it comes to cats.
Yup, that’ll do it! LOL
Yep, you’ve got it covered fur sure!
Lookin’ bootyful; Fanks fur comin’ to meez pawrty.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Well, there you go. We totally understand. MOL!
Yup!
Well it is a bit tough trying to “get the words out” when SOMEONE is resting comfortably on the keyboard! A sneaky way to keep Mom’s attention but it works well!
Hugs, Sammy
Oh, Astrid, you and my girl Thimble could be computer-thieving twins! This is what much of my blogging time looks like. It’s not like I have any say in it, though, so I just go with it. Purrs!
What else is there to say after gazing on such a beauty.
BOL!!! That is awesome! We need to try this with our mama’s computer!! What a brilliant idea!
Astrid has taken over the computer today so we can’t write anything!
MOL…thats why!…MOL 😀 Pawkisses for a Happy Day 🙂 <3
Aww…That is a very good reason. ❤
That’s one (gorgeous) reason to go wordless 🙂
I guess you can’t write anything today without Astrid’s approval!
