Scott Adams describes his morning routine, which is focused on creating the comic strip Dilbert. Part of that routine is petting his office cat Sarah. Below is his description of his great pet and their teamwork.
My office cat, Sarah, hears the refrigerator open from the next room and will be waiting for me in her designated spot.
Sarah demands quality time on the rug or she literally won’t let me work. She’ll scream and start ripping my stuff to shreds unless she gets her quota of petting. This part of my routine has not varied in 17 years.
I take Sarah with me to get additional petting while I check blog comments and e-mails. She looks uncomfortable but she’s actually totally relaxed. It’s her favorite petting position.
After I write my blog post, I start the comic-making phase.
