Heehee...cats...

I suspect that my cat has a fascination with computers...in addition to any cuddle issues that she may have.
She seems to fancy the barbarians in Diablo II...and loves watching them leap and scurry on the screen.
Then again...my cat also enjoys climbing the bathroom walls...and chattering at flying insects...and countless other oddball activities.

Oooh...yes...start a cat picture thread so we can show off our "babies" like a bunch of lonely old ladies! Hee he hee he hee he hee!

I have a cat that loves to stalk moving lights. She likes SE IV because the black static background gives good contrast for the mouse pointer. This cat will leap and strike the wall four feet up from the ground to try to get an elusive moving spot of light. We have a bird's nest in our eaves. The other cat sits in the window and looks up at the arriving birds. However, this cat prefers the time of day when the sun shines through the window. She then sits and faces the wall, waiting to pounce on the bird shadows. After all, they're inside the room...

My cat enjoys sleeping on the printer when I'm on the computer - even though he must be twice the size of it. He also likes to attack the paper during printing leading to the occassional paper jam.

That is sooo uncanny. And here I thought one of our cats was weird! At night, when the streetlight shines through the faceted glass in the front door, it makes a sparkly design on the opposing wall. When we hear that "swoosh, plop, swoosh, plop", we know Taffy is jumping several feet into the air and sliding down the wall trying to get the sparkles! And don't EVEN get a flashlight out...or one of those laser pointers!

We have a flashlight toy that shines through a little pLastic globe filled with water and glitter, which makes swirling sparkles all over the walls of a dark room. The cat loves it, but there are so many, she just sits and her head shakes in all directions looking at them all.

Atrocities, you may need a keyboard condom. Never know though, the pLastic may encourage the cat to use claws...

Keyboard condoms

I got one on my beloved ancient IBM 101. You know, a real keyboard, huge with keys that click, and doesn't have those annoying windows keys!

Good thing I don't have a cat that likes to jump on it
