yes I know; TRH's don't like my chair - they drove my sister off the sofa (using the old "I'm so happy to be here I will puncture your leg in a dozen places while contentedly kneading" ploy) - and since they usually consider me to be below notice (unless they are hungry, thirsty, need furniture moved or doors opened) I didn't have to pet them continously. (They prefer to have me pet them only when outdoors - They have a different indoor servant)
