My room-mate's cat, Tweeter, keeps trying to login to the Linux server in the
corner. It's kinda cute, really. She stands up and puts her forepaws on he
keyboard, and somtimes it looks like she's trying to type. The other day, she
fell asleep on the keyboard. (She's a true hacker's kitty) The beeping didn't
even wake her up. :)

My cats have learned not to attempt to waylay the keyboard.  They attempt to
hijack the lap instead.

Though the male seems to enjoy the phone a bit too much.

One of my cats used to have a thing about getting on my lap and then
popping up between me and my keyboard. When he got bored with that, he
would try to lie down between the keyboard and monitor. Then one day he
noticed text scrolling on the monitor and went nuts clawing at the screen
as the words zipped by.

My cat decided that he liked oatmeal bread (and rightly so) and spent lots
of time yesterday standing between me and the screen, lying on the keyboard,
and drooling on the shift key. Thenhe decided he preferred just knocking
things off the desk.

My cat always seems to hit the button with the windows logo or the
alt key.  <sigh>  Enter is his other favorite.

mine go for the F(#) keys...so ti just beeps and doesn't really say anything..

Ours are currently enamored with the tree and its various decorations.  

My cats, fortunately, don't like the feel of the keyboard on their tootsies.
They very carefully walk around it.

My cat likes to stomp one paw on the board, usually causing my laptop to 
beep. Then he hops on the desk, puts his paw on my face and manages to 
pull off my glasses. Then he meows in mockery of me.

My cat _once_ made an attempt to leap up on the keyboard.  Fortunately, I
was able to intercept him in mid-air, scooping him from below, and adding
sufficient energy to launch him in a long graceful arc, to a point on the
far wall about five feet from the floor.

        Hey, cats do learn!

Mittens does not like being that high. She is very nervous when near the 
computer, since it's on a table. So she's never actually done anything to
our keyboard.

I had a high school teacher who complained one day that he couldn't get his
e-mail because his cat had deleted his communications software.

this morning, my kitty typed my real initials... cv

Maybe he was starting his resume?

I once had a blackbird get into my office and type "ZSD".

My boss has semi-adopted a neighbor cat, and occasionally
lets her in to the building.  Usually she sleeps in the
basket we use for outgoing mail, but when she wants attention
she launches herself onto the keyboard.  At this point I 
usually show her the exit...

I'm afraid she is starting to think that that is how to ask 
to be put out...

   edison doesn't type, but he does like to settle himself around the
front of my neck, just below my chin.  (i have no idea how he keeps
his balance there without sinking in all his claws.)  he usually does
this when i'm sitting at the computer, thereby completely blocking my
view of the keyboard but not the monitor.  so while my cat doesn't type
himself, he has taught me how to touch-type.

Edison - I like that name for a cat.

I guess he must be a "Tom" cat then. 8-)

void, you come up with cool names.  :)

        Hopefully Edison isn't 99% persperation.

Edison is a good name. I named my cat Harley before I even saw him. I 
figured it would be a cool name for a cat, male or female. He does purr 
like one! Though lately I call him Harlis, it just fits him better. 

Then again he sorta looks like a "Seymour".

The last cat I has was named "Panther". She was all black.

One of the things I don't like about my desk is that it has no room for my
keyboard and mouse. I have to use one or the other, or if I do have the mouse
next to the keyboard, it's out of my usual typing position, and I misspell a
lot.

 Not that anyone needed that explanation...

Re. 25:  The last--and only--cat I had I named Harry Monster, 'cause it 
was.  It was a long-hair thing that looked like Don King reincarnated 
into a cat.  But I really liked harry.  He always seemed to have this
@#$%-off attitude.  But he had his moments, too.  

The first time my nephew Shane used a computer it was mine, which happens to
be the very one that Katie's kitten walked on.  I saved the text on paper;
it's dated 7/22/90, which means he was just under 2 1/2:

Wow...quite a verbose 2 1/2 year old you had there.

My cats would rather sleep on the monitor or walk on the desk.

Rick (O'shea) used to sleep on top of our old SE when he was a kitten, but
never intentionally messed with the keyboard. One day the "e" key kept
repeating itself and making Kenn nuts. When he pulled the cap off to
investigate, he found a long black Rick-hair lying across the contact. Eeep!
Pierre cares about nothing but his own comfort, so ignores the computer.

(Rick O'Shea? Great cat name....)

Apparently my cat's don't like the computer... Sasha keeps attempting to
get behind it, and somehow manages to get the moniter and the tower to
stop talking... I can't figure it out, nothing gets unplugged... She's
recently discovered that laps are fun places, and will try to curl up
in my lap when I'm at the computer.  She has tried to get to the 
keyboard, but normally I catch her in time.  Scrolling words do fascinate
her though.  The other, Woobie (Woobie von ShadowMaster, or Willoughby)
must be attracted by the computer because every time I sit down he
comes around.  If he can't get to me lap he will willingly jump to my
shoulders... which is fine till her loses her balance and then the claws
go in, so it's time for him to get down... he will occassionaly try
for the keyboard, but I catch him too. <grins>

Hey, Anne, my friend Mike (formerly joker here) has a 
cat named Sasha too.  I don't think he likes jumping 
on the keyboard, however.

Wow, John, Hello. :) <grins>  I remember joker... So you're saying
his Sasha ie better mannered then mine? <grins> I bet mine's cuter. ;)

I don't know about that; Sasha is getting to be an old man, & he's pretty
well-behaved.  I wouldn't go so far as to call him cute, though.

Hamlet, on the other hand, is undoubtably cuter... ;)

Sasha (my sasha) is the cutest grey cat in the world.  Trust me on this,
if you wanna see a pic of her go to:

If that doesn't work, try the link (grey paw print) from my page:

I need to get a new pic of her up, cause she's 1 1/2 now.  Becoming
waaay snuggly though. :)

She be cute. Waaaaay cute.
