- The damned cat used to jump up onto my shoulder, and act like a
- parrot, well, not actually say 'pieces of eight' or anything,
- just purr, and occasionally scritch it's claws on the back of my
- high-backed chair. Or me if I was unlucky.
-
- Usually it jumped on the keyboard in the process of climbing up,
- and typing random junk [deleting articles, exiting the news
- reader, etc. etc] The worst habit it had was jumping up, landing
- on the computer mouse, and accidently activating some other
- screen or menu.
-
- The cat also liked to play around at the back of the computer,
- next to the window, waiting for the moths and Christmas beetles
- to fly _through_ the glass.
-
- When she was outside, she would chase birds, and climb trees, and
- go into the shed and get covered in spider-webs. She liked being
- stalked by me and my trusty Super Soaker 200 water pistol, as
- long as she didn't get too wet.
-
- She also liked to play around the house, running around, and
- leaping at you from behind doors.
-
- She was run over yesterday morning, and is very very dead. Which
- is a bloody big peeve.
