I can’t remember the name of the Peter Sellers film where he takes a cat who is reclining on his desk and uses it as a blotter. I think Sellers played a lawyer.

Now they do it on keyboards instead of manuscripts. Touch screens are especially fun with critters.

And how is it that a cat is able to walk across your keyboard and magically push some combination of keys that does something to your computer that it takes you an hour to figure out how to undo it?

It’s diabolical, I tell you what.

My first dog and cat pair, Amos and Andrea, had a peculiar rollicking relationship where Amos would grab Andrea, pin her to the ground, and lick and nibble her all over until she got totally disgusted, let out a loud hiss and meow, and escape. This enabled me to use biological cat control when she got up on kitchen counters, etc. I'd just pick her up, pet her gently, and tell her she'd been a bad puddy. When Amos, who was half Black Lab and half Irish Setter, heard this he dash into the kitchen, tail wagging, ears up, and tongue out, knowing what was about to happen. After gently admonishing Andrea, I'd drop her to the happily anticipating Amos, who'd grab her by the scruff of the neck, drag her protesting form out to the living room, pin her down, and lick and nibble all over her until she managed to squirm away, loudly hissing and meowling all the time. This can also be a treatment for the keyboard walker.

Roman-era Ft. Vancouver brick has paw prints

VANCOUVER - A brick unearthed decades ago at Fort Vancouver is back in the spotlight.

The brick was first discovered buried in the ground on the site around 1950, but a recent analysis of its make-up now shows the brick dates back some 2,000 years, all the way back to the Roman Empire.

One of the most interesting aspects of the brick is what was likely not supposed to be on it.

If you look closely at one of its corners you’ll see two tiny paw prints. Archaeologists suspect it’s the work of an ancient Roman kitty cat.

“We kind of jokingly call it the ‘Celtic Kitty,’ jumped up on this wet brick probably close to 2,000 years ago and memorialized itself for all eternity,” said Bob Cromwell, an archaeologist at Fort Vancouver.

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. :-)

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!
