How do your fur-friends tell you when you've had enough computer time?
Cider comes in and lays across the keyboard. Dot just lays on the mouse.

Star comes in and flops on my lap and if the rubs don't start immediately she bangs her face into mine.

Bailey, Heidi, and Sadie whine and yowl and nudge.

Not sure what Toeby is going to do yet.

1. Similar
Smokie and Sophie will both walk accross the keyboard--usually pressing something I don't want pressed!ARGH. Sometimes they just pull on my clothing. But they love to sit right in front of me so I can't see the monitor if they are really wanting attention

3. You kidding? Mine love the computer when it is on. It is such a warm place
to curl up upon (I have an big old monitor). They want me online all the time.

4. My dog is huge, large enough that he puts the top of his head
under my forearm when I'm on the keyboard, and just pushes it off. Usually this means he wants to eat, or that I should open the bedroom door so he can sleep on the good bed... He is a Doberman/Great Dame, and used to be the lead dog in a home with 6 other dogs. He runs our home as much as he can get away with. He is a real sweetie, but a spoiled brat.

6. Tristan becomes a lap dog
(He's a 55lb golden retriever.) Molly, meanwhile, will bring her tug toy over and drop the rope on my lap, back up, and then howl at me.

8. Summer does one of three things
She jumps up on my lap, she stands up on her hind legs and pokes at my arm with her claws(!), or she jumps up on the back of the office chair and drops one of her toy mice on my shoulder.

She even does a preemptive chair-claim once in a while, too. No computer time 'til she gets cuddles!

Would you want to mess with a cat with this look on her face? :P
