The look on his face was hilarious. <br /><br />To that old farmer, cats were just to keep the vermin down. If there got to be too many, he had plenty of burlap sacks . . .samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06266828722290789801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-47932193435843892272009-07-28T16:17:31.218-04:002009-07-28T16:17:31.218-04:00Zydeco is allowed on my desk but not Stingray'...Zydeco is allowed on my desk but not Stingray's. Guess who has to fight a campaign for possession of her lunch every noontime? It doesn't matter how many times he's yelled at, growled at, scruffed, dropped, evicted, or spanked, he presses in like a fuzzy, angry glacier until his nose is just hovering above my portion and I lose my patience for the umpteenth time.<br /><br />He used to sleep on top of my monitor. Then I finally got a flatscreen. It's been a year and I STILL have to yell at him to stop him from climbing up there to see if it magically develops a sleepable surface once he reaches the top.LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-52386758042614805562009-07-28T15:57:44.486-04:002009-07-28T15:57:44.486-04:00Yeah, a cat wants what you're eating, and if y...Yeah, a cat wants what you're eating, and if you break off a piece and put it in front of the cat, it has no interest and keeps going for your portion. Then I tap the cat on the noggin with the spoon (which makes a bell sound and a disgusted look on the cat, both of which get me to laugh), and all of a sudden I'm the bad guy.<br /><br />I don't have a dog because I wouldn't be home enough for it to be properly cared for emotionally, and I don't have a cat because I can't be away from home to be away from it that much.mts1http://mts1.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-52068622732508864922009-07-28T14:35:54.879-04:002009-07-28T14:35:54.879-04:00Both of our (the boyz) cats like to climb onto or ...Both of our (the boyz) cats like to climb onto or be near the computers, especially when I am using them,<br />Lay on the keyboard?

There's nothing like a cold nose in the ear to pop that dream currently running in your head. If Snowflake is doing the nose-in-ear routine, she'll sit next to the head of the bed and yowls a bit.<br /><br />Who said cats were low maintenance?Crucishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441911110953212619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-57731119369201494052009-07-28T13:53:57.172-04:002009-07-28T13:53:57.172-04:00"...despite Slinky's inability to get on ..."<i>...despite Slinky's inability to get on the desk by herself.</i>"<br /><br />I used to rule the world, now I'm a cat elevator. :oTamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285540310465422476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-47438130796066907502009-07-28T12:37:45.624-04:002009-07-28T12:37:45.624-04:00Story of your cat reminds me of an incident I deal...Story of your cat reminds me of an incident I dealt with a few years ago, when I did tech support for a printer company. A woman's cat liked napping on top of her laser printer because (as anyone who has owned a cat knows) they love sleeping in warm spots. Just before she called me, as she attempted to print something, there was a terrible screeching and grinding sound; the cat's tail had gotten caught and it was being pulled into the machine. Luckily she was able to rescue the cat with nothing more than a bruised tail, but the printer was in bad shape. The incident really did not come under a warranty situation, but my supervisor had it repaired free anyway, just it was a novel situation that made him laugh.BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405172215849046373noreply@blogger.com
