A Jealous Cat

Whenever I'm occupied with one of my hobbies, my cat gets jealous. I was sitting with a quilt on my lap the other day adding more stitches to the design. Sandy tried to get on my lap. When I wouldn't let him do so he cried. Finally, I decided to put the quilt aside for a few minutes and let the cat sit on my lap so he could be petted. After a few minutes of this he was satisfied and went on the bed to take a nap. This wasn't the first time I was interrupted from an activity by him. If I read the paper, he wants to sit on my lap also. If I'm talking on the phone he gets up on my lap and demands attention by meowing. He prefers me to be unoccupied so that I'm at his beck and call when he wants attention. This can be annoying at times but most of the time it makes me laugh. I have a jealous cat who is also spoiled. He is really quite entertaining. I'm his favorite entertainment as well.
