“What part of you disappears when you stand up?”

I’m sure you’ve all heard that riddle. My daughter’s cat has not.

She likes to sit on my lap while I work, which can quite be an annoyance. But since I have a desk that can move from sitting to standing, I sometimes frustrate her efforts by standing.

Voila, no lap to sit in.

But she doesn’t know that, so she jumped up and tried to claw her way to my non-existent lap, which was not fun.
