While Abby is probably my favoritist cat in the whole wide world, she’s not really the lovable, snuggly type. She’ll occasionally jump in her mom’s lap while we’re watching TV or come lay on top of her in bed. This usually only lasts for a few minutes at a time and when she feels like she’s been petted enough, she’s gone. She very rarely snuggles with me. Well, Amy’s been gone at a conference for school since Friday now and it’s obvious that Abby misses her as much as I do. Anytime I sit or lay down anywhere, she’s right there and if I’m not at the computer desk, she’s been jumping into my lap and waiting for me to pet her. That may not sound like a big deal, but for Abby, it’s pretty strange. Usually when I’m in here at the computer though, she’ll walk in, make sure I’m still here and then go back out into the living room. I thought that’s what she was up to a few minutes ago as I was working on my slides for SXSW. When I reached down to pet her though, she jumped right into my lap. I knew Amy wouldn’t believe it, so I snapped a couple pictures with the webcam:

I’m guessing she’ll go back to being spoiled, fiesty, princess Abby as soon as Ames gets back on Wednesday, but I’ll enjoy the lovable, hugable Abby while she lasts.
