Off the Mark by Mark Parisi for June 15, 2022

It looks like a catasstrophy.

Whenever my cat walks across my keyboard, she takes a screenshot. She refuses to show me how to do it. I’m training her to come for a treat whenever I need a screenshot. Or maybe she’s training me …

Way to go, Trixie. You’re a natural!

Thanks to her restless cat syndrome.

Still a better love story than Twilight.

Unfortunately Trixie will have to stick with her job of just being a cat. Her owner will delete it before anyone has a chance to read it. It is not a catastrophe: it’s nonsense even by cat standards.

So if one billion cats slept on one billion keyboards, would one of them write Romeo and Juliet?

Kitten on the keys.

We had a similar problem in the 90’s. Our cat would scrunch her little body on the mouse pad, and sit there until she got some attention. The bad part was that she would leave cat hair on the mouse pad, and the mouse ball would pick up the cat hair and I would have to clean it out all the time.

I get some of my best passwords this way.

My cat has done stuff walking across my keyboard that even I don’t know how to do, nor ever needed to. He’s turned on dictation in Outlook, opened a web page in the editor, in addition to composing an email that looked like the screen above. Fortunately he didn’t anyone to send it to.

I want to read the part when she’s kneading (aka making biscuits).
