well i am the one with opposable thumbs

yes, to my cat. if he wants to go in the backyard, i open the gate for him, as if he couldn't jump the fence. if he wants to drink out of the swimming pool, i get down on my hands and knees and scoop water out for him. if he's on the front porch and wants to be carried to the garage, he scratches on the door until i let him in. he lets me know what he wants with a very demanding meow too. i also used to do all this for my dog before he died. i even brought him breakfast in bed when he got old and spent most of his time in bed.

Let me give you an idea of exactly how much I am Rag's servant. Here is what I go through just to be with you fine folks on Answerbag: It is (type-type-type), stop, wait or move the cat, steady cat so he does not fall off desk (he is going blind), (type-type-type), stop, wait for cat, tuck cat under arm, (type-type-type), pass cat to Keysha, (type-type-type), lift keyboard for cat to walk under, scratch cat, (type-type-type), tuck cat in beside me for a bit with my arm wedged against my side, (type-type-type), cat gets up, move keyboard, (type-type-type), grab cat so cat does not slip off of desk, cat walks over to keyboard and lays down on it, Keysha passes cat to me, tuck cat under arm, (type-type-type), cat sits on keyboard, move the cat, (type-type-type), cat lays on mouse (or moves it for me), move the cat, (type-type-type), cat sits on my hands, (type-type-type), give up and peer around cat, (type-type-type), give up trying to type at all and pet cat, etc... ... pictures of what I see when I try to compute: http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/5492189 And this should indicate just how much of a cat servant I am: http://s199.photobucket.com/albums/aa153/Arisztid/?action=view&current=43c1f8e7.pbw That is a slideshow of two Ragged Years.
