Tolerance

The living room couch is a favorite spot for both Denny and Boo. The cat follows D around constantly, patiently waiting for him to lie down so that he can hop up and plop himself down on D's chest. Because D is reading 3-4 books a week plus the newspaper, these scenes are common right now.

D is not a cat person but I've never seen him shoo Boo away. I think he likes the cat but can't quite verbalize the bond. It's a challenge to manage the reading materials with the cat juxtaposed between eyes and paper. Eventually, says D, the cat gets hot and moves to a higher perch where he can look out onto the backyard.

Tolerance.
