Every night was the same conflict for Charlie and his cat Roger. Charlie watched TV in the living room until the 11:00 news was over. Throughout the evening, Roger would wander back and forth from the bedroom, going from the sofa to the recliner Charlie sat in. About halfway through the newscast, Roger headed for the bedroom for the night. By the time Charlie was ready for bed, Roger would be laying across both pillows, all four paws outstretched, stiff as a board. It always took Charlie about 5 minutes to get Roger to move when he assumed that position.
