Turns Out Cats Have Been Walking on Important Stuff for Basically Forever

Check out this 15th Century manuscript. Notice anything familiar? In totally-non-shocking-news-of-the-day, it turns out cats have been walking on whatever you're writing since the dawn of time. Emir O. Filipovic of the University of Sarajevo's History Department discovered the medieval kitty prints.

We can only assume that somewhere, beyond the reach of time, in a small ancient monastery in the mountains, the muffled sounds of "SNOWBALL, OFF. OFF. DOWN. GET DOWN, SNOWBALL. BAD KITTY. DAMNIT, SNOWBALL GO SOMEWHERE ELSE," carry across the medieval vales and valleys.

Mamma Spook kitty’s additional to a paper I am currently working on. She was not pleased when I told her that I was not going to list her as a co-author. :-)

His official title was, “Cat Discipliniarian.” He was a wonderfully slobbery, silly, ridiculous dog. Also, I apologize for misidentifying him. He was a pure bred Black Lab.

That’s it. Thanks.

[Slings and Arrows]

Think Fatal Attraction. She’s *very* affectionate.

[SgtHooper]

Yes, we have, too. Katie brings her toy with her, plops down at my feet, looks directly into my eyes, and gives a stern meow, over and over until I cave.

I know!!!

There have been a few times that I said, “How did you do that???”.

[boatbums]

When we had a exercise bike up in the man cave/office, hubby would be on the bike and the cats would come in and walk all over his computer keyboard and/or DAC. He’d yell to no avail, then he started squirting them with a spray bottle of water. That worked but it also got water on sensitive electronics. He solved the problem by using a a few presses of a compressed air canister made for cleaning keyboards and such. Works great and no water problems! Now, if they come near, all he has to do is reach for the canister and they scram.

I had only been married a few months and we had friends over. I had made my very first cheese cake and went into the kitchen to bring it into the dining room. It had a row of little kitty prints across it. I took a spatula, smoothed it over, and served it. No one died.

This is what kittehs do. Along with shedding, it is one of their primary life-missions.

Thank goodness I was able to get this done before my cat touched the screen again!
