I have found something that is NOT cat-friendly, at least according to my boys it isn't! My new-fangled toy [Rocky's opinion, not mine] boots them almost constantly out of my path. For all three boys are insisting that they walk in front of me to make sure nothing jumps out to startle me, and if I'm moving to fast to suit them, they sit down right in my path and look at me as if I'm expected to sit and relax a moment. Cats, you gotta love them or hate them, there is no in between! They are so protective, and so darn careful! Whenever they get in my lap they walk around the injured leg, curl up everywhere but next to it and tell me how much they love me.
