Gah! There are times when I regret having pets.
-
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:

It's the old VB v C# debate, you should've gone with dogs.

Turn the paw prints to an advantage: "Kitty sends her love!"
... such stuff as dreams are made on
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.

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

Have you met your cat?

I predict a shredded door, a small pile of smoking hardware, and a slightly-miffed cat.

My cat never makes a mess. Then again, my cat does not exist. No self-respecting man owns a cat. :laugh:

If your self-respect would be diminished by owning(*) a cat, then you're the one with the issues, laddy. (*) BTW, cats are not 'owned' by human beings. Cats have clients.

He'd be happily managed by Professor Schrödinger at 03:00 most mornings when he decides it's breakfast time ... or possibly Cruella de Vil if I can persuade him to bark.

It could be worse. My two greyhounds occasionally decide around 3:00-4:00 a.m. that it's breakfast time. This is announced by the pitter-patter of dog toenails on the hardwood floor, followed by the jangle of the tags on their collars. If that doesn't work, Hera (the female) will bark(*), which ends up with me looking like this[^]. (*) The male is Bacchus, the god of whine. I've only heard him bark once in the year and a half we've had him.

Don't forget Hellboy and Data, they have cats too.

Fortunately mine don't do that. Other than the barking, the worst mine do is stick their cold nose in my face.

Very apt description. Given their height and the fact that their snout can be 6" long or more, they can reach almost anything with it.
