well i'm glad i'm not the only one! sheesh! my Jo (the girl) jumps up on the counter and watches while i get ready for work and when i brush my teeth, she watches the water run with her little head cocked to one side. she just sits quietly until i'm done and then when i am, she gives me a squeaky meow as if to tell me, "ok mommy, you can pet me now!" and of course, i DO - how could i possibly resist?!
