Who is This Cat?

Tillie is a real sweetheart, but she's not much of a lap kitty.  She loves attention.  If she's lying on the floor or 'her' chair and we walk by, she almost always rolls over onto her back and expects us to stop and pet her.  If we don't, she looks at us like she's trying to figure out what's wrong with us.  She's so soft and fluffy and sweet that it really is hard to walk by her without touching her, so she must be right in thinking something's wrong with us.  It doesn't happen often.

I'm not ready to research bipolar rehab treatment centers, but it does have me wondering who this cat is.  I guess I'll just enjoy it when she feels snuggly - who wants to get anything done anyway?  Soon enough the boy will be home, and since he's her favorite person in the whole world, I probably won't get any more Tillie snuggles. 

I also won't get white cat hairs all over my computer...
