I don't have a cat, but my 2 year old daughter exhibits this slightly annoying tendancy.

Like geo, no cats but my sweet heart has exibitted such tendancies. GrowlTigga, did you program her also?

Mine (the cat that is) has switched from trying to help me enter commands at oh so inappropriate times to sitting on the monitor and occassionally swatting at a ship the displeases his sensibility.

We have 3 cats, 2 females, 1 male, the male could care less, he just sleeps in my computer chair and gets annoyed when I move him to play, like its his chair, the 2 females are and act just like Atrocities stated, especially the younger on, she loves to walk on everything including the key Boards, cks out the printer, etc, the other one, she just scratches my pants and then rolls over on her back expecting me to give her a belly rub, and all this right in the middle of Twixle the 4ths imperial fleet fighting in tactical the devious designs of the Rage. And if I ignore them, out comes those crys of abandonment until you cann't stand it any longer.....
I really think the Furry Felines are in cahoots with GT just to spy on our playing abilities...
Be careful Atrocities, they could have monitors hooked to their collars

be careful, be very very careful
look to the sky
its "THEM"

Val,
Remember: A cat is never yours.

I must say, my GF is more insistent than my two cats.

Although my younger cat used to lay across the top of my monitor, he can't do that anymore since I put my computer in a nice little hutch. I kinda miss that - although I don't think it was really good for the monitor. That cat weighs 18 lbs., and the vet said he might actually need to gain weight! Seriously, he had to scrunch a little to fit on top of my 21" monitor, so that gives you some idea.

Now, the older cat I actually inherited from a friend of a friend; she's a 14-year-old cat, loves to sit on people's laps, meows piteously every half hour & won't stop until you either call her name repeatedly or go find her, but at least she doesn't jump up on the computer desk. It's too high for her to reach - she can't jump up very far. She's only half the size of the younger cat, but demands four times the attention.

Hmmm.... Has anyone written a computer game for cats? You could have birds flying across a touch sensitive screen, and every time the cat hits one, there is a big squawk
and feathers fly all over the place. Well, on the screen, anyway. I'll bet you could sell a few.
