This link was just sent to me:

I nearly spit out my water when I saw the grey screen with the “Cat-like Typing Detected.”

Some of the Frequently Asked Questions are a hoot too, so if you have a cat and he/she likes to perch on your keyboard, this may be just the product for you. ;)

Stuff on my cats

Jenna Petersen sent me a link to the Stuff On My Cat website a couple weeks ago, and it’s absolutely hilarious if you are a cat owner or lover. I decided to have a bit of fun with the concept and with Jenna, so I posed my boys with Jenna’s “stuff.” ;)

Couldn’t resist throwing mine on there too. Heh. Bob looks pleased, doesn’t he? ;)

My cat Bob is a smart cat. He chirps back when I talk to him, herds me where he wants me to go and generally seems to know what is going on around him. So what, I ask, is his fascination with eating things that are not food?

“Ooh, ooh, a rubber band! Nice and squishy. Wow, an eraser! Rubbery in my tummery. Crunch, crunch – just two hundred more chews, and this pen is mine! Then I’ll finish it off with a drink from that nice big white porcelain contraption.”

Sure, he herds me to their food bowls every morning, chattering all the way, intent on getting a daily dollop of wet catfood. But that doesn’t seem to stop non-catfood consumption, much to my eternal dismay and overzealous need to keep all cat-swallowable objects off the tables and floors. I keep waiting for him to realize a dust bunny appetite. That would be quite useful.

Pounce and Bob - undercover cat

For odd sleeping habits, please see feet above.

Pounce’s thoughts on the other hand (at left), seem to consist of, “leaf! plant! flower! clump of tasty fur!” Or, “warm lap! sunny spot!” A bit more catlike, but he has been known to lick an emery board clean and polish the back of a phone handle. No, I don’t know why either.

What are some of the more curious traits that your cat, dog, ferret, fish, *insert animal here*, possesses?
