(More lines.)

Since Nadia's passing last December, I've gotten out of the habit of putting away jewelry, hair clips, and other small things that are tempting to cats. This is a habit I need to re-learn -- I just spent the whole morning chasing the cats around my desk, picking up earrings and barrettes and other such items before Tori could make too much progress in trying to eat them. Currently they are at my feet, having discovered a bottlecap that somehow found its way onto the floor.

Also, I really need to find some way to manage cats and keyboard. Anyone who has IM'd with me lately has received at least one string of nonsense text, when a cat pressed paws on keys and then somehow managed to hit Enter. They have also been known to launch and quit software programs, interject into messages, and erase entire paragraphs of a story (fortunately, nothing yet that a few simple Undos couldn't fix). I don't remember having these problems with Nadia, although maybe that's just memories going dim and misty.

Off to work, where I can type without kitten interference to my heart's content. Alas.

does this look familiar?

I actually have a great one of Jazzi just sitting on my laptop when she was a kitten. Now they sem to have learned that the keyboard if off limits, but the mouse is still one of Jazzi's favorite things to sleep on, especially if my hand is on it and I am trying to use it :)

ooooooh so cute!!! :) Soooooo tiny. How could they have ever been so tiny?

I hope they learn eventually. I do keep throwing them off but they haven't picked up on what that means yet...

You must've heard of this:

Then again, it seems to be Windows-only. Ah well. Perhaps T might find it useful. :-)

I have heard of it, although personally I am a little dubious. Too bad it doesn't come in a Mac version; I might be tempted to try it otherwise.

The FAQ is fairly amusing.

I'm envious of your kitten interference. I miss trying to juggle a cat and a keyboard, even though it drove me crazy at the time.
