I will add my blessings to you, Bless you.  I wonder what today will bring.  Perhaps today we work for free.

You are blessed to have love in your home, sent to you in the form of a cat. Animal companions are much like toddlers--they don't realize that you are working and want two things from you, love and attention. How many times one of my twin sons would press a key or do something to get my attention as I worked. Same thing with my husband's dog, and later my little girl's kitten. In those moments when any of them would send a report back for me, I would call my supervisor and explain. I learned to proof my work paragraph by paragraph, as each paragraph was completed and to save my work frequently. I also learned how to distract the pets with a box of toys or, specifically in the case of the cat, a long ribbon with a toy at the end, looped through a metal eye at the other end of the room--the other end of the ribbon tied to another metal eye on my desk. When the cat would bother me, I would pull the ribbon and the toy at the other end would jump. Also, try a Renuzit solid in a citrus smell--our cat hates it--this will keep the cat away. If your cat likes to reach through openings at your desk, put up cardboard so it can't do that anymore.

The cat loves you, much the way a little child would, and wants to be with you, get your attention. Still, if the cat is causing you that much additional stress, take it to the local Humane Society before your temper gets the better of you.

And please keep us posted.  Will be worried about you, but also eager to hear the good news!
