Abelard won't move off my mouse pad. He lays his head on my hand when I put
my hand on the mouse. Makes it hard to move the mouse. When I take my hand
off the mouse, he lays his head directly on the mouse.

So I've decided to use the cat as a mouse pad. Wish me luck. It's not
working too well so far.

I use a trackball.
Max used to lie in my lap with his head on my arm and a paw on my hand.
A trackball makes it all work out.
Cheers

If you had taken the poor boy to the vet earlier he would already be good as
new.

I have a new laser mouse. It works on any surface. I will try it on
Vino next time he hangs around on my desk.

At least with a laser or optical mouse the ball does not pick up all
the hair!!

This is true, but my previous mouse was optical and it used to get cat
hair stuck in the little optical window and then it still wouldn't work
all that well. It also wouldn't work on shiny surfaces. The laser
mouse seems to work on anything.
Unfortunately, Vino is in a deep sleep on the bed and I can't very well
wake him up and lie on my computer desk so I can see if my laser mouse
works on him. Oh well, maybe tomorrow ;-)

I have a trackball mouse (Actually more like a rat) but Tyche sprawls
all over it.

She KNOWS mommy's hand goes there and she wants that hand on HER

She is so fat that lying over the mouse, she sprawls partly onto the
keyboard too.

(I don't know what to do with her. Smokey and Kumani are losing weight
on the diet food and they don't need to, but Tyche just keeps getting
fatter!)

Sounds like guard duty while Mommy is off to work is wearing him out right
down to the bone!
