Rochelle - my little one, Brandy, does that same thing - standing on her back legs with her paws on my legs. It's SO cute, isn't it? Mine occasionally does seem to want picked up but mostly I think she wants UP! Like up on the dresser and up on the desk and up to anything she doesn't normally have access to. It must be such a huge difference in perspective for them to be up where we always are. She also wants UP to the hanging plants or to look out the window if anyone is near it :) I had to breakdown and get dryer tubing! After everything I kept hearing it was a must. So now they have 6 ft of it. They LOVE it! One in each side. They chase each other in and out of it. Blaze is so big that he bunches it all up around his hips trying to get in if noone holds it :) It's so cute when it finally all springs off and he goes scrambling through ;) And he also tries to drag it across the floor when Brandy is still in it. Oh- the cutest thing. Blaze was in it laying on his back and all I could see was his back feet and tail. Well the tubing was really fat where he was. I looked in again and there was Brandy climbing her way past him cuz he wouldn't move! They are so adorable! Angi Brandy & Blaze [Posted in FML issue 0723]
