Our Persia is a good'un for the comfort, and does a good line in comedy if she thinks we need to be distracted (latest speciality is under the nest of tables, which are slightly spread out, and she lies on her back and pulls herself around the legs of the tables with manic kitten eyes and loud purrs). She's also extremely good at walking just in front of my feet, especially at the top of the stairs.

I used to be severely allergic to cats - these days you wouldn't guess that, as she lies along my arm and pushes her tail up my nose.
