The life of a cat...

Chances are, if you've got a cat, you know how weird they can be. You also probably know that they have an obsession with electronics and will sit on keyboards, consoles, and anything else with a power button. There isn't really much you can do to stop them, as cats generally tend to do whatever they like, whenever they like; and sitting on warm, cozy electronics seems to be pretty high on their list of likes. However, one ISP in the UK did manage to come up with a solution for a customer whose cat wouldn't stay off his router.

Internet cat, interfacing with your router!

My problem is not having them sit on the keyboard and mice - but in front of the screen so I cannot see what I am doing

[jee]

Agree Tribbs, or sitting on my chest so that i cannot type... or the minute my laptop bag is flat anywhere, they lie on it...

[Tribble]

That happens too. Do you notice how they always stick their bum in your face

[rustypup]

DSTV decoder for preference because the drive mechanism adds a relaxing vibration...

[Tribble]

Bwahahahahahahaha

[KALSTER]

Am I the only one that has trained his cat not to jump onto tables, desks and counter tops?

[Tribble]

Naah kitchen counters, tables and speakers I have succeeded. They do not listen when it comes to desks and electronics.

[KALSTER]

Do you use negative reinforcement?

[Tribble]

Where I have succeeded - yes. Can't squirt water in the direction of my PC - no matter how careful I am. So I take them off and stroke them - and they get back on hoping I will take them off and stroke them

Smart cat.

[jee]

nope. no negative enforcement. not good. ever. baaad Kalster... nails in delicate derriere when he least expect it.

[Tribble]

jee I get those in derrier every morning - when Kimmy wants some love. If I ignore that he hops onto the desk

[jee]

I get the gentle pat tap on my face from Aiko... and if i don't give her the attention... boy... the nails come out!

My dad moered me when I was naughty. Is the cat better than I am?

Edit: Though I am not a parent yet, so not sure if I'll be using some level of corporal punishment on my children.

[GreyWolf]

Level 1: Squirt of water
Level 2: Smack on the rear

[CapNemo]

3 Frying pan over the head???

[Bladerunner]

No, Cap. Pellet gun. I still have to sort the cats in my townhouse complex out (with something strong) before they eat my birds.

[KALSTER]

My cat is to the level that a certain body posture or tone of voice is enough negativity for it to know not to continue whatever it is doing. And yes, it still jumps onto the couch to let you rub it, rubs against my leg, sleeps on/in the bed during the winter, eats Friskies. That cat has a better life than I do. It doesn't have a name though. It is simply known as Die Kat. It is a eunuch.

PS: Don't give cats milk. They are lactose intolerant, just like most other adult mammals. (found this out only fairly recently)
PPS: Tribbs, that first cat of yours is adorable!

Jy sal my nou nie glo nie, maar daar was net vanoggend so een op my tafel gewees. Net sonder 'n scope.

Rerig? Wat kos hulle? Maar ek kan sommer 'n windbuks gebruik. Kan nie met 'n .22 skiet in die stad nie.

[Hman]

Ek weet nie, dis my baas s'n.
