My writing days, which is every day, are spent at my desk, sharing the real estate with my two cats, Clara and Sadie, who turn 3 in October. Either they’ve become especially interested in my writing, blogging or tweeting, or they like the warmth of my desk lamp.
I do know they like to follow the screen cursor around, their heads mirroring its movement as I click here and there, tapping the screen every so often with a paw. They are an important part of my writing life. They sit/sleep on my lap on cold days and keep me warm. They rest their paws on my laptop’s trackpad or the keyboard. One even printed a document by mistake once. Their typing skills are atrocious. I could never let them write for Girls Sent Away. Being part Siamese, they talk to me a lot while I write.
My lynxpoints are a source of inspiration and humor. Here are Clara and Sadie figuring out what to say in 140 characters on my Twitter account:
Little do they know how many cats have Twitter accounts. Check out the fun site World Wide Whiskers, for news on cats around the world. You can follow the blogger’s cat on Twitter, too.

This is so adorable!!!! They are beautiful and they’re almost mirror images of each other! You’ll have to dedicate part of your book to them, good writing buds

Hey, your Clara and Sadie look like me! I’m a Tonkinese. What color eyes do they have?

They’re lynxpoints, with blue eyes.

Hi Delia,
Cute cats! I have one cat–half Siamese–who’s always trying to type on my keyboard! She once managed to type “hy.” Pretty good for a cat.
She’s usually curled up in her cat bed on my desk.
