Definately not a cat person

So my mother is off on her girls ski weekend in the great up north ans has left me in charge of her two cats. I am not a cat person, so it always makes me laugh that I am the one who is always called upon to care for the little buggers. Right now I am trying to type with on of them perched on my arm, purring and kneading away at my neck. You would think that these two cats would be a little more independent since my mother is hardly ever home. So Nathan, my six year old son and I sit here in my mother's house, waiting for the cats to lose interest in us so we can make out great escape and move on to the all important issue of what to make for dinner!!
