Flower always liked to be where the people were. She often sat in the front window on her little house, which Ashley gave her for Christmas, where she could see everything in the front room. Before that, she would lie on a towel that I placed on the floor by my desk, or more frequently, she would go into Varr's room because it was carpeted. Sometimes she would sit in the doorway to the hall where she could look at me at my desk but also down to Varr's room. She also liked to sit on the front couch. You could tell her favorite spot if you saw it because on the white couch it's the spot that's covered in black cat hair. Typically though, she would prefer to sit in the front window or by my desk for awhile, but I think she really liked her spot on the couch. Once in awhile I would move my stuff over to the couch and sit there. Whenever I did this she would come and enjoy the company on the couch. I would sit in the middle or on one side and she would sit on her side. Flower was very comfortable here and content to simply lie next to me and let me do whatever school work I had. She never pestered me, and in fact, I often wished that she would come and spend more time with me and sit on my lap or something like that. Occasionally I picked her up at my desk and placed her on my lap. She tended to move from there up to my desk and sit or lie kind of off to the side, in front of my laptop. Because my desktop is glass, it's usually cold, and so, Flower never stayed there long. But I was glad that she liked being there for a bit. I always had wanted to get a table or something that I could put next to my desk with a blanket or cat bed for her to sit on so that I could enjoy her company and give her a comfortable place next to me. I am, however, glad that she enjoyed going to Varr's room as well. I know that Varr had a special way of petting her that she liked a lot. She tended to not stay in one place for long when I pet her, but she really liked Varr's pets. I was happy, too, that my roommate enjoyed having her around and enjoyed giving her love and attention. Even Ev let her in to his room a few times, where she would sit in the window and look outside; that's what he told me. Before she ever became sick, I would miss her a little bit when she wasn't around where I could see her. I had to remind myself sometimes that it was better that she enjoyed everone's company and got love from all of us.
