Writing as Roger Morris, I'm the author of the contemporary urban thriller, Taking Comfort, which was published by Macmillan New Writing in 2006. A year later, under the slightly different name of R.N.Morris, I published a very different book, A Gentle Axe (The Gentle Axe in America).
I shared your video with my puppy as an instructive tool, focusing on the fact that your cat showed respect and that no attempt was made to type or to eat the pen. The sixty-five pound puppy was in her usual position sitting behind me with her front feet parked on the desk beside the keyboard. She was most vocal in her opinions, insisting that the cat should participate more. I disagree.

You and the cat have created a strange new dance, Roger. This video needs a musical backing track! I'm thinking something Bollywood.

Insubordinate claws in the tail?
At least it's just an unflustered feline on your back, Roger. Most writers have editors!
Claire Elizabeth Terry says:
Hilarious!
Hilarious! Thank you for posting this, Roger!
(And, yes, the cat is somewhat inconvenient - but handy if the central heating ever breaks down, don't you think?)

Companionable Muse!
I'm jealous. I write all alone. Your cat is like a neck-warmer with claws.

a furry feline
obviously ,it is contemptuous of your space..perhaps the cat will provide some literary motivation and co-authorship ..I await a further instalment..

Can we get an orthopedist over here?
I'm an avowed cat person. Yet, between guffaws, all I can think of while watching this is: That guy's poor back!
