I'm Gonna Stick Like Glue by Weezilou

I'm Gonna Stick Like Glue

(Stick, Because I'm Stuck On You!)

Meet TJ, our most affectionate and needy family cat. More than anything he wants to be held, and, since we've returned, he's seldom left my side. When I set up my laptop in the breakfast room, he kept walking across the keyboard, nudging my hand and mouse and tried repeatedly to climb up my shoulder. We finally came to an understanding that he could be next to me, but not all over my computer. Before you begin to analyze his feelings of abandonment, he's always been this way. He missed the part in the Kitty Handbook that says cats are supposed to be aloof!

Good News Update! The folks at Fry's resuscitated my computer! Seems it had something to do with a failed watcha-ma-callit and an abundance of cat fur.
Maybe that's what is wrong with my computer! This is a beautiful little kitty. My youngest kitty is always waiting outside the bedroom door first thing in the morning and does not leave my side (or computer) until I have to go to work. Then he's laying all over me as soon as I'm home..."talking" the whole time. To see him for the first time, you'd think he'd not been pet in weeks! Such wonderful personalities, they have.

TJ - the dog of cats. Glad you got the whatchamacallit taken care of. :)
September 24th, 2010  
aw...what a pretty baby! he's just trying to show you just how much he missed you! that's too cute! our youngest furry baby gets all up in my business right after i come out from putting g down. it's like she thinks, "the little boy is asleep! now it's my turn!" haha....cats are really such funny, quirky creatures, aren't they?
September 24th, 2010  
But he is so cute. It sounds like he picked up the Dog Handbook. Look in his luggage to see if he has the wrong one.

Love TJ, he's so cute. the Glue is one of the nickname we gave to Chamallow... who really looks like TJ's cousin by the way :) Do you have news from Dill, I can't help thinking of him?
September 24th, 2010  
Awww welcome to 365 TJ :-) Glad you know all the computer terms like me!! Thanks for your comments on the conker thing Andy and I have going on. After they drop...hmmm...apart from the game...some people swear they keep spiders away and put them around the house. When Chris' daughter was about 12 we collected loads, drilled holes in them and threaded up on some string. I still have it hanging in the garden and she's at uni now!!
September 24th, 2010  
What a sweetie he looks like! My kitty always meows a lot when I get home, it's like he's saying "Hey! Where have you been?!"

Thanks for your comments on Stella's photos, she was such a fun girl and goofy!! We will miss her so much.
September 24th, 2010  
What an adorable cat!
September 24th, 2010  
Lovely picture of TJ! Glad you're computer is fixed. Make sure to get some rest before you are off again in three weeks. :)
September 24th, 2010  
Ha ha ha the last comment made me laugh out loud!! Cat hair...well I wonder where that came from ;)
September 24th, 2010  
What a sweetie. You are surrounded by lovely cats:) Wonderful photo.
September 24th, 2010  
Hi TJ what a beautiful pussy you are,
September 24th, 2010  
Awwwww - an affectionate cat. Cute!
Our Rusty loves to sit near/on us and sleep next to us. Mind you, our cockatiel also follows us all over the house :-)
September 24th, 2010  
Sweet guy - he missed you so much!
September 24th, 2010  
You must be experience a mixed bag of feelings. Loving being home and missing your other home.
September 24th, 2010  
Reading about TJ makes me want to reenter the world of pet ownership. He certainly has turned all the stereotypes upside down! Love his sweet fur face.
September 24th, 2010  
TJ is adorable! Our friends Brian & Lena have a cat with a personality of a dog too - he actually likes performing tricks. It's crazy to watch! Glad your whosiewhatsit was cleared up and your computer is back to normal now :)
September 24th, 2010  
Louise, your animal friends have a keen sense of knowing who is going to be their best friend, and obviously they know and remember your gift of hospitality. Glad to hear your computer is working again. Those cans of compressed air work very well in getting rid of the hair, dust and "crumbs" from our snacks. TJ looks like a very lovable kitty.
September 24th, 2010  
Nice to know he missed you. He is gorgeous.
September 24th, 2010  
gabby gets that way sometimes, and little molly at work kindly lets me use her desk for 8 hours a day!
September 24th, 2010  
Umm I think my kitties missed that part in the handbook too. Especially my female cat Midnight. She won't even let me brush my teeth in the mornings without pawing at my face and brushing up against me. I get to the point where I have to kick her off the counter. lol
September 24th, 2010  
Yep, he read the dog manual...sounds just like our pups. When I'm sitting at the laptop, Bosley pushes my hand off of the mouse so that I'll pet him; BJ sleeps on my feet so when I get up, it's a flurry of feet, dogs, chairs, almost catastrophe! Pets - can't live without them! Beautiful kitty!
September 24th, 2010  
Now there you go..that will do it. hae yu ever thought that maybe your cat wanted to click on 365 to become a new member??
September 24th, 2010  
Such a good shot!
I love the look on his face - so expectant :D
September 24th, 2010  
TJ's expression looks like "Is it really you? Mom, are you home?" Glad your computer is going to live.
September 24th, 2010  
What an adorable face...he sounds just like how Murphy was. He had to be next to you at all times.
September 24th, 2010  
What a cutie!!! I can relate to your situation because Kenya's brother, Jensen, was very, very needy too. It could be annoying at times, but isn't it also nice to be loved so completely like that? :)

I'm glad your computer woes are behind you!
September 24th, 2010  
You seem to be surrounded by wonderful cats wherever you go. That is great.
September 24th, 2010  
Mama, he missed you. He is quite handsome. I'm sure they are all glad you are back home.
September 24th, 2010  
what a sweet shot--i'm sure he missed you so!
and i'm so glad to hear your computer has been fixed. whew!
September 24th, 2010  
Hehehe, my sister's cat Tristan aka Trissi looks like TJ and he also behaves like him. So it is something in their gens I guess.
September 24th, 2010  
Awwww, love kitties.
September 24th, 2010  
see I would like cats more if I had a cat like TJ, sadly though too many have read the handbook! Glad to hear about your computer, you must be thrilled
September 24th, 2010  
Very cute photo! The description makes me think of my dog, Abby!
September 24th, 2010  
Perhaps you can figure out a way to have TJ help you with your computer duties, 365, Shutterfly, etc. He can laze across your laptop AND be useful. He already know what to do with a mouse, doesn't he? Yep, I can see it now...webchats between TJ and Dill, online ordering of cartons of Meow Mix and subscriptions to Miss Kitty Kat of the Month.

P.S. - I'm so glad you got your computer fixed. It's such a scary moment when you fear it's gone forever.
September 24th, 2010  
He looks like he is deep into thought. Glad to hear your computer is fix now.
September 24th, 2010  
Yeah - wonder what Dill would have to say :-)
September 24th, 2010  
I had a nice chuckle over your computer fix. :) Nice shot and I bet he's glad to have you back.
September 24th, 2010  
He´s gorgeous! I love the little spot near his whiskers and on his chin! Tijgertje is like that too, walking all over the keyboard and snuggling up to you.especially when you´re in a hurry to go somewhere,he gets all comfi in your lap-so I'm late again...
September 24th, 2010  
Pretty fellow! Glad to see you arrived home safely. Great news about your computer too!
September 24th, 2010  
sweet kitty :) glad your computer is fixed! :)
September 24th, 2010  
Hey there TJ....you sound like my Bella!!
September 24th, 2010  
Aww, he's so cute!!! Sounds like my Charlie, too, except Charlie reacts that way even when I leave a room for 5 minutes ;).
September 24th, 2010  
Awww poor TJ! Glad your computer's fixed, abandoned catsget revenge!!!! ; )))
September 24th, 2010  
louise--i posted a photo today with you in mind! i tried to post a link to your shot from august 7 within my text, and couldn't get it to work. maybe you could post a link there for others to see your shot also.
September 24th, 2010  
he's so beautiful :) my kitty likes lots of attention too... there's a fine line between being cute and slightly annoying at times! maybe he was trying to email you while you were on holidays which is why there was so much cat fur in the computer? definitely plausible!
September 25th, 2010  
Awww, TJ is just too darned adorable! My boys also failed to get (or read) the memo that cats are supposed to be aloof, and I've ended up with a few posts that read something like "-----------000000000000000000000000" from a cat either walking across or sitting on my keyboard. I'm glad to hear the computer was able to be saved!
September 25th, 2010  
hey, louise...you're one of the people in this site that i missed. nice to see your photos again after 2 weeks (the longest i've been away from this site). i love the photos of your family....are you still in canada?

ps
thanks for the comment...i was afraid i've been forgotten.
September 25th, 2010  
Aww, he missed you! I have one (Sushi-Ball) that loves to sit beside me when I'm writing--I should have named him Hemingway. (:
September 25th, 2010  
very cute kitty
September 25th, 2010  
i think we're the only ones not using the "reply" feature on the site =)

so where are you off to next? i want that!!! i want to get away from everyone (except my little monster) even for a day or two....i haven't had a vacation in almost a year
September 25th, 2010  
He's just the cutest cat! I'd love to just give him a big cuddle... if only I wasn't so allergic to the darn cuties that I broke out in hives and sneezed myself silly. :P
September 25th, 2010  
TJ is a sweetie and hes now got his Mummy back :) I laughted at watcha-ma-callit as that is what I call everything technical. What a godsend that your computer has been saved :)
September 25th, 2010  
So adorable; reminds me of one of our cats from a previous life..........
Where were they while you were gone?
Great computer news.
September 25th, 2010  
Beautiful kitty!
September 25th, 2010  
Louise, thank you for your condolences. Each day is easier but we miss her terribly.
September 25th, 2010  
Oh here he is again, so cute!
September 25th, 2010  
awww what a beauty
September 25th, 2010  
sweet kitty !
September 25th, 2010  
Cute cat
September 25th, 2010  
Awww TJ is a cutie. We used to have 2 cats. When we came home from traveling they would give us the cold silent treatment for a few hours just to let us know they didn't like us being gone. :-) So funny.
September 26th, 2010  
Glad the computer has been healed! Watch out for viruses as well! Cute kitty! :)
September 26th, 2010  
love that! abundance of whatchamacallit! LOL!
September 26th, 2010  
What an adorable cat! Glad to hear your computer has been fixed!
September 27th, 2010  
Wow, am I far behind here!

What a sweetheart, and a beautiful photo! I have a velcro dog so I can totally relate. It's like they want to be a part of you, not just next to you. Mine tries to get inside of my shoes with me when I put them on LOL.

So glad you got your computer back and it's all fixed! I hate being without mine. I do have a laptop as backup but it just doesn't feel like home.
September 28th, 2010  
this is so adorbs! I kinda wish I had a cat like that. He seems so affectionate and loving, how awesome are you to have him around!
Glad to know that you're computer is brought back to life!
