Really?
cats April 26th, 2013Really? There’s not one other place my cat can sit?
Not on a couch.
Not on a chair.
Not on a bed.
Not over there.
Not in a window.
Not on the floor.
Not on the pillow.
Not by the door.
So many choices.
What in the hell.
Of all the places.
He picks my Dell.
Stumble it!

Ha ha! I love it when I find tell-tale, muddy footprints in places they shouldn’t be.
I was going to comment in verse, but it’s late and my brain has gone to sleep.

My cat loves to sleep on my laptop too. It must be that it’s warm and it purrs!

Yay Kathy! Love it! You do a great Seuss.
It’s so true about cats. What odd creatures they are.

Love this! So much better than Dr. Seuss 🙂
But, even though that picture is precious, be careful. My adorable little baby (she weighs 14 pounds) used to sit on my closed laptop and I thought nothing of it… One day, the display stopped working and the computer wouldn’t initialize anymore. I had to buy a new one. Bastard cat.

I came home from Disneyland to find that one of our cats had thrown up on my keyboard. Luckily not a laptop… But that keyboard had two F6 keys and was super cheap and awesome. Thirty bucks later this new Microsoft one is perfectly adequate but has zero coolness factor. 🙁

Of course there isn’t someplace else for the cat to sit. No place is as warm and cozy as the computer.
April 26th, 2013 at 7:34 pm
Doesn’t look like he was sitting, but more tap dancing to me.

Kathy, this post CRACKED ME UP because I had two at one time and they never sat or slept anywhere I wanted them to.
Their favorite place was always right the center of the kitchen table.
But like yours, they always left tell-tale evidence. Paw prints and cat hair – HA!

Babs —
That’s OK. No need to rhyme.
I know it was late on UK time!
Thanks for being my first commenter after a whole month of not writing. I feel back in my comfort zone again.
Mod Mom Beyond IndieDom — I’m not even sure I left my laptop turned on when I left for work. I think Lucky likes to sit on it because …. because…. he’s not supposed to be there!
June — Ah, thank you! This is by far the worst tell-tale paw residue I’ve ever found on the laptop. Geez. He must have gotten on and off ten different times.
Jean — Thank you! OK, so what you’re saying is I need to keep Lucky on a diet? I’m so sure he won’t want to hear that. Yes, bastard cat. They don’t even know how much these things cost! (Or maybe they do.)
Impetua — Again, “of all the places.” They can never throw up on a linoleum floor, for easy clean up, can they? Sorry about the dead keyboard.
Small Town Mommy — It’s possible my husband turned the laptop on when he got home from work before me so it was warm. But I really think Lucky just sits there because he knows he shouldn’t.
Lin — It does, doesn’t it! This is the worst evidence I’ve seen left on the laptop. Usually it’s just a few marks, but geez. I can picture him walking around on it, in a circle, finding just the right position to lay down on it. Maybe I need to set up a web cam to catch just what in the world he’s doing.
Ron — Maybe that’s why Lucky sits on my laptop, because it’s always in the middle of the kitchen table. Might be his little protest that something’s in the way of his enjoyment of the table. Speaking of hair, in my job as a computing consultant, I once had to work on the laptop of a woman who clearly had cats. I opened the lid of the laptop and found a SHEET of hair all across the keyboard. I almost threw up. Had to spend 20 minutes cleaning it before I would touch that thing. Bleh.

Be thankful those marks are not on your chest. For some reason, Boo has decided that my manboobs are the place to rest.

Maybe he’s looking for the farmer.
Get it?

BabaBooey — Manboobs. Now I will never be able to look at you the same way again. If my eyes drift, just say something.
Chris — That was so corny, I had to laugh.
Merrill Guice — Har. I just know my cats want to blog, but I’m really glad they can’t. Imagine all the dirt they could dish about me!
April 28th, 2013 at 5:21 am
Excellent job, Kathy — you slammed that one right out of the park!
April 28th, 2013 at 7:02 am
He he! Ernie hardly let’s me use mine. What would we do without our cats?

I like to place my curly form
atop of something nice and warm
I think that perching on a Dell
Would also suit me very well

cardiogirl — Aw, thanks, my friend. Haven’t been slamming anything out of the park lately. Haven’t even been in the park. So thank you!
Nora — I don’t know what Lucky’s going to do when I take my laptop on vacation for 10 days. Maybe I should put my old laptop in its place so he has somewhere to sleep when we’re gone?
Daisy the Curly Cat — I love your Seussian poem, Miss Daisy. You have a way with words. Did you ever think about writing a curly book?

Kathy, I am totally impressed with your Dr Seuss rhyming skills!

I would probably sleep on a computer if it were big enough for a horse.

The cat asks “If not for sits, then why is it made of warms?”

You cat knows the best place to go to get your attention. You really need to pay some attention to him.

I love cats with barbecue sauce and a spice rub and roticerate them for a while then serve with beans.
I’m just kidding. I wouldn’t eat your cat. Maybe a stray cat but not your cat.
I just gave a whole new meaning to “I had a cat when I was a kid”.
