Petting is a Two-Handed task!
That is what Misty the youngest member of the family thinks anyway. If you attempt to use only one, she will go after and retrieve the other, using any means necessary to achieve her intended level of “petedness”.
She will get on the keyboard to catch the offending hand, and if all else fails she relies on pulling herself into your face and rubbing her chin to yours for the simple reason that it does take both hands to get her down….
This routine is played out any time she decides it’s time, day or night with no regard to what we humans may be doing at the time. We have even have to resort to locking her up at times, resorting to bedroom time out when other chores require two handed attention.
Sometimes, like now, she will settle down and lay in the lap calmly purring and playing lap warmer, but it has to be on her terms not mine.
Petting, it’s a two handed job according to Misty and she will never think any different!
