Angel and Bubastis
My dad got me a papyrus painting of the Egyptian cat god Bubastis while on a trip to Cairo recently, and my wife and I put it up on the wall after moving into our new digs.
For some reason, our cat Angel (I used to stroll her and her brother Dan around the neighborhood when I used to live in Evanston) likes sitting right beneath the painting, often striking the exact same pose:
Her second-favorite spot is probably on my right shoulder–no matter what room she’s in, she seems to sense when I sit down o the couch and is usually in “parrot cat” position within 30 seconds:

Cats are amazing that way. Rennie certainly seems to sense when I have stretched out on the recliner to watch a DVD, and he’s there on my lap within minutes.
BTW, Nora thanks you for posting her video. She’s not a lap or shoulder cat, but she makes up for it in a quite wonderful way. She and Rennie are best friends.
