Pets who "help" us write

[Carol Rose]

Kitty wants to help me write the next Weathermen book. What do you think? Anyone else have a pet that "helps" them write? Let's share some pics.

Can't say that currently I do. However, my daughter, who is an artist actually has a tortie and white cat, as well as a dog. (He's not a tortie & white)

Kitty has tortie and calico in her, we think. She was a rescue cat that Nicole and her house mates in college brought from a shelter about four years ago. When Nicole moved out of that house, she took Kitty with her, and now of course Nicole has graduated, is home, and Kitty is part of our household.

Calico is as far as I know (being a former cat breeder), the American term for Tortie and white. Happens to be my favourite colour in cats

They're very helpful cats as you can tell LOL!

If being sick on the stairs counts as assistance, then our cat is frequently helpful, in large volumes...

Antoine provides lots of developmental editing assistance, especially with my current WIP set in New Orleans. He's no help with line edits though...

Cheeto, on the other hand, is a really hands-on time manager.

Did anyone else see a phone with a cord attached on Richard's desk?

 

[Richard Sutton]

Old image, Carol! LOL! No cords in sight now, except usb cables running everywhere

Hey, I didn't say that! LOL!! We still have a landline at home so I can't say a thing.

Cheeto! I love that name

(Jean Paul Sartre and his cat Nothing.)

Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.
Robertson Davies

He also observed something about cats, which could apply to writers as well!

The great charm of cats is their rampant egotism, their devil may care attitude toward responsibility, and their disinclination to earn an honest dollar.

My older daughter works as a vet nurse, and tells me vets call torties, 'naughty torties.'
Because......

Toby and Isidore "Izzy" also 'help' in this respect quite effectively:

Though mainly they just do whatever the hell this is:


And other times, they help me to not write and watch TV instead!

 

[Carol Rose]

Very pretty kitties!

 

[Katie-Ellen]

Is one of those boys called Richard?

 

[Katie-Ellen]

THIS, my friends, is my older daughter, a vet nurse with her rescue cat, Salem. This cat is the cleverest little thing...and this is what I call, her being disrespected!

 

[Nicole Wilson]

Ah! Cute kitten overload! Thanks guys. I now miss my kitties uncontrollably but I still have about 4 hours before I get to go home and smother them with hugs and kisses *sigh*
