Does your cat walk across your keyboard?
This little one likes to do it. It's part of the floor as far as she is concerned. Any forget about running a screen saver. She will dive at the screen. Too funny

2. Quinn will get a running start from across the room,
hit the keyboard on the first bounce, then land on top of the monitor on the second, and finally end up on the windowsill behind the monitor :)

When he does it, it tends to bounce everything else off the keyboard tray, like the mouse, any CD's laying there, etc.

I let him get away with it though, just cause he's so fuzzy.

5. They like to sleep on the monitor
I swear, it's one of the most popular napping spots in the house.

8. Oops prefers the answering machine
He likes to sit on it in just such a way that the message plays over and over. I really think he does it on purpose.

And the keyboard always makes this pitiful noise when cat does it.
I think cat knows it and does it so I wake up and feed the beastly thing.

15. My girlfriends cat pushes her ceramic bowl around the tile floor
at all hours. It's a smart kitty. She pushes the bowl all around the tile floor until someone responds.

16. Not Only Does Mine Walk Across the Keyboard
She finds endless fascination in the mouse cursor. She's even made the connection between the mouse and the cursor, moving the mouse with her paw while watching the screen. She is also very attentive when I move the cursor to various positions on the screen, making those sheep-cat noises (usually reserved for watching birds out the window) when the cursor changes from, for example, an arrow to a pointing hand or when the cursor pops up text beside it.
