I work from home and am the proud owner of an attention seeking cat. Mine also likes to join in during all my phone calls too, esp to my boss. If you need to distract your cat get a game it cant resist but needs turning on by a human like undercovermousetrap and spray it with catnip for those mom...
My cat always comes running when I get in from work so I can pick her up so she can kiss me on the nose - cats can be so affectionate when they are cared for right
And I thought my cat was the only one that sleeps in rather than on the bed
