Cyber Kitty

My cat is a computer geek. Or to be more precise he is a computer thug. It’s not that he spends hours pawing over Pc manuals and computer codes, rather that he prefers landing on my laptop at great speed sending it off on some crazy task. Both him and his playmate, the delectable Miss Woo (otherwise known and Kyla) appear to have lost a file at some point, as they are constantly starting searches for ‘hkhlkk;lllllllllllllllan’ or other such named documents. Last night Kyla even decided she needed to send an urgent email. There was I browsing the web, when she comes running into the room and jumps onto my laptop, at which point Outlook pops up. She looked thoughtfully for a minute at the screen, got distracted by a fly and ran off. I’m not sure whether I need to be proud or worried that she can do that!

Kidd is a lot more technically advanced, although he does have a habit of typing in cat Oriental. Sadly it is a language I find hard to read, spoken is a lot easier. The other evening he did type his first English word however. It was ‘use’ he was so proud of his achievement he saved the letter but sadly the title was back in Oriental again. He is also very good at redirecting web pages. When he was a kitten he was forever changing the page I was reading to his breeders site. Personally I think she trained him. He certainly picked up a few more skills than your average kitten.

His favourite thing to do is to sit on the hibernating button, especially if he requires some attention. It’s very annoying but not as annoying as when he stamps on the keyboard as I restart the thing and he sends it off to some rebooting screen. I swear one day I’m going to come home early to find him sat on the computer, glasses perched on the end of his nose, reconfiguring the whole thing. I’ll be more confused by it than I am already and the whole thing will be in cat Oriental.
