    ...against which I was trying to write a script to get it to move off me. Time to take a break from coding? Maybe?

    I'm really hoping your cat is WiFi ... I can't find any USB connectors on mine, and I don't think he'd appreciate me trying to plug him in.

      Now why would anybody want a script like that??? :confused: You should learn to prioritize. A cat on your lap automatically superseeds any other priorities... :rolleyes:

        Shouldn't that be Wi-Fe (Wireless Feline)?

          If they did have an API, don't you think that the mice would have hacked them by now?

              I gave up on trying to get our cat to do anything, when I was 12 yrs. old. Of course, I did not have a computer, nor did I know how to write programs at the time. :^)

                I dreamed my cat left me a present ... but it was only a dream. Whew.

                            Isn't this exactly what Scratch was built for? Or maybe I'm thinking of Claw. Either way, will probably end horribly. ;)

                                You are aware that the algorithm for getting a cat to move of its own volition is classified as NP-hard[^]?

                                  I even have a partial implementation:

                                  string PullTail()
                                  {
