Noel likes to sleep next to me all day while I work. She is the office cat. Recently she decided that the thing that Mommy is always looking at (my screen) seems to have some cool moving things on it.
The other night when I posted the rodeo video of the “Corgi Cowboy,” Noel decided that it was time to take over the blog. She loved the moving stuff on the screen and started pawing at it. Please excuse me if I misspell or goof up from now on because I have a
cat in front of the screen which means that I am typing blind. Muffin has helped me on the computer by typing on the keyboard and he actually sent an instant message once that looked like “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.” He also knows the exact combination of keys to walk on to make my screen go sideways. It took me several hours one day to figure out how to undo that. I guess I will have to get a touch screen so that Noel can start to compose her weekly stories to you directly on the screen. I never had an animal actually focus in on moving stuff on the screen before. I think it must be like the laser pointer movement that I play with them sometimes. I shine the laser dot around and they run after it. I asked Noel what she wanted to blog about, but she really did not have any ideas (deep thought is not her strong suit). She said anything as long as it has movement.
There is definitely going to be interesting now that Noel has discovered that things move back and forth across the screen. She is now chasing the pointer. This is kind of fun but not very productive from a productivity stand point. Oh well, it is much more fun to play with the cat than get any real work done. How am I going to explain this to my boss though. “Sorry boss but my cat decided to block the screen so my reports all look like a monkey did them.” Well, I have heard that monkeys are very smart and actually that if you give one a typewriter they will actually end up writing a pretty good book, or something like that. So, when I become unemployed my hope is that Noel will be able to support the family. (She is giving me the evil eye now and she does not think that is very funny. “Mom,” she says, “you know that I just want to sleep and look pretty, don’t make me work for my supper.”) I guess I will have to make her stay in her pretty pink bed next to the warm computer, so that I can keep getting my work done, and she can stay in her diamonds and pearls. Just another DogCATDaz morning at the zoo! ❤

Scratchy types on my person’s keyboard sometimes too, but fortunately he hasn’t shown any interest in moving things on the screen. Good luck getting Noel to do your computer work.

Much more fun than the way my Bengal Spot helps! I use an iPad – and while the apps for cats interest him not, attempting to knock the whole pad on the floor is always amusing.

Careful your computer doesn’t get fleas from them – pesky cats!

Wow – I never thought about how to get fleas out of a keyboard. Good one Bones.

Maybe Noel can be my pen pal. She can type “eeeeeeeee” with her paw and I can answer with “qqqqqqqqq” which I typed once with my ear when I fell asleep on Mom’s iPad. 21st century animal communication. Smart kittie!
Love and licks,
