I hear Baby churr in greeting as she jumps upon my desk. Pushing away from my keyboard I position my chair to provide easy access to my lap. Stretching forth, she kneads the armrest first before lightly stepping down. Gently I open my desk drawer and remove Baby’s brush. I slowly draw it down her side as she purrs. One stroke, two, three – my eyes following each caress; her fur grows silky.
As I am with her my head clears. The visit is brief. Soon Baby climbs back upon my desktop and begins grooming herself.
