I like when one shows the white of her eyes, it looks so funny and intentful 👀
Edit: 69! Nice, u guys?!
My cat managed to crash a fresh install of Debian Stable to an unrecoverable state, just by walking across the keyboard.
I had to reinstall, but of course she still got treats for doing such a good job as software tester.
Haha, I hope thats not like a habit for her. I would def not be cool with that 😂 That would be like day 2 housebreaking acatdemy
I’m pretty permiceive with mine but definitely have a robust set of policies lol
Oh, it definitely is.
I tried to keep her off my stuff in the beginning. But she’s more stubborn than I am, and keeps trying again, for hours and days if necessary. At some point I just gave up.
Now, when she wants to sit down on the keyboard, I quickly lock it and accept that it’s time for a break and some scritches.
PawSense is a Windows package that tries to detect when a cat is walking across a keyboard and locks it.

I don’t know of a Linux equivalent, though I’d swear I remember something similar that was targeted at the author’s young 2-year-old daughter, was named after her, but which I cannot now find.
He chews on everything - paper bags? Food. Our wooden furnature? Tasty! The metal folding chairs? Yum!
This same cat also breifly learned to turn off the internet and force us out when we were being too boring (such as when trying to fall asleep). We started locking him in a room overnight for a little while, and he seemed to forget how after that, luckily.
My almost 18 year old lady makes me play follow the leader every morning. She needs a pill, but before she’ll let me grab her we have to walk around the house so she can show me the things that are hers.
My 4 year old likes to watch screens and is particularly enamored with the little webcam views in Teams. So he shows up almost every morning for my stand-up meeting.
One of my cats loves to jump up on people’s shoulders. We’ve been practicing, and I can walk around the house (slowly) with him up there.
Holy shit, mine does that too. It’s how we got her, we went to the shelter to pick one and when we entered the cage with all the cats in it, she jumped on my shoulders.
That’s exactly what happened with Porkchop! We opened the kitty cage and he lept out into our arms. I was like, now we can’t just get the first cat that jumps at us, so we did a full walk around but inevitably went right back to him.
Went back two weeks later to adopt his sister.
Our youngest comes into the house mewing until someone replies.
