    Yesterday, I cleaned my printer - it was going brown with muddy cat paw prints - and I just sat down and noticed it had a new layer. Worse: the birthday card I had just printed also had muddy prints all over it. :sigh: Anyone know how to get a cat to wipe it's damn feet? Or how to design a computerised door mat that will wipe them for him? :laugh:

    Turn the paw prints to an advantage: "Kitty sends her love!"

    ... such stuff as dreams are made on

      If it had been ink, then yes. But "suspicious brown marks" could be harder to get away with... :laugh:

                          George Clooney has a cat. So does Morrisey, Ewan McGregor, David Bowie had cats, Morgan Freeman has a cat, Leonard Nimoy, Vincent Price, OriginalGriff, Sander Rossel, ... the list goes on. All cat owners.

                                        Having pets is one thing, but you need to acknowledge that the cats have you as their pet and servant.

                                          George Clooney has a cat. So does Morrisey, Ewan McGregor, David Bowie had cats, Morgan Freeman has a cat, Leonard Nimoy, Vincent Price, OriginalGriff, Sander Rossel, ... the list goes on. All cat owners. And ... there is even research that says that men who own one or two cats are more attractive to the ladies: Why Women Like Men Who Love Cats | petMD[^]

                                          Whatb you mean to say is that all are tolerated by cats as long as they do their bidding.
