BLARRGGG!
Cats!
Delicate! Light-footed! Acrobatic! Soft-footed! Little Creatures!
Chaos just "passed through" - on her way to get to the window, she kicked
over my cup (full) of coffee, trod on several inconvenient keyboard keys
(I'll find out later if that document was safely saved), stepped on the
ON/OFF
switch on the powerstrip which turned off EVERYTHING on my desk, knocked the
desk-fan over...
The coffee, of course ran faster than Mercury on hot iron ... within 42
microseconds, it had soaked my mousepad, several books of matches, the
hairbrush I keep on the desk (full of hair from brushing Killer), and three
pieces of (flimsy) paper what I am still trying to decide had on them...

Sounds like Pearl. It's pretty amazing all the things she can do to my
computer.

Yep, it's amazing how someone with such grace and agility can become the
proverbial bull in the china shop.
I imagine she had a smug little smile on her face as she passed by. She
probably though it served you right for paying more attention to your
computer than to her.

I have to tell a Bootsie story about this. DH had the laptop hooked up, and she
started to chew on the phone cord. He started going "NO Bootsie, NO. Don't
chew! Stop it, Bootygirl..." and so on. He couldn't get up cause he was kicked
back in the recliner with the laptop. She was looking him straight in the eye,
with the cord hanging out her mouth and still chewing. Then I heard the
computer say "GOODBYE" as both ends of the cord fell out of her mouth.
True to form, he looks at me and says "Isn't she precious.?"

Sheesh. Talk about being smitten. And some people believe that cats can't
think. We know how diabolical they really are (grin), and somehow they
convince us they are just too cute. I'd say there is some kind of mind
control going on here. ( I hear a snicker and a bawhahah from the other
room.)

When she got up in the window, she looked over her shoulder at me, shrugged,
and settled in to watch da burdies.

Ooohh! Good one! I wonder if the little wasters keep score in those
little kitty heads of theirs. I'd have to give that one close to a
ten. I figure it isn't the dollar amount of damage, it's based on how
much of a shambles one can make in something like a short stroll
across a desk.
Perhaps we could start a monthly "Do you know what that #$%^&* cat
did?" contest. I'd say you've got a very good chance at winning
September's "Graceful Kitty" award.
Regards and Purrs,

That's a great idea. And I'd say the Duke is way ahead right now.

She's well-named, isn't she?
Hope she didn't cause any permanent damage!

All of my cats have always named themselves - after about a year, I can
pretty well tell what's going to fit them.
> Hope she didn't cause any permanent damage!
Nope, thanks be to MSWord's Auto-save...
Far as the electricals went, nothing got shorted out, and the coffee had
cooled down from its normal temp of 185F, so I didn't even get a hot leg.
Never did figure out what was on the slips of paper, though.

Oh, she was being delicate and graceful - she just *meant* to do all that,
of course! ;>
