Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2007Poor Roxy - I bought a flat-panel monitor
My old monitor was really on the way out yesterday, so last night I bought a new one, a flat-panel. Today she was cuddling with me on my desk, and then she got up to go to her usual spot atop the monitor. She went to jump up, and noticed that something wasn't quite right. So she got on the PC tower to take a better look. From there, she bent down, sniffing the area behind the monitor, seemingly wondering where her special bed had gone! Joyce >>From there, she bent > down, sniffing the area behind the monitor, seemingly wondering where > her special bed had gone!<< aw, this happened to Lily too. When I first got her I had the regular kind of computer monitor so she could sit up on the top and look down at the screen. Then, when I got a new flat monitor she lost her seat! She now sits on top of the DVR which we call a 'kitty warmer'.

I rearranged my bedroom the other day and moved the chest of drawers, aka Cherry's bed. away from the head of my bed and to the other side of the room. That night and for several nights running, she paced the room saying, "Awww? Mouuuuw? Maaaaaaauuuu? Aaaaaaa!" until I finally took pity on her and put her blanky on the top of the bookcase at the head of my bed. The bookcase top is a lot smaller than the top of the drawers, but she was quite happy and sleeps there now with her paws hanging off. Whatever you have now, Joyce, I'm sure the furballs will never consider it to be a "real" computer. Maybe they can learn from Emma and call it a tooth-scraper. Cantate Oh I remember when the roomie moved out, and her bedroom was emptied. She was around when the I 'acquired' all the kitties so they were used to her. And suddenly she was gone and so was all her stuff. Gone was her bed, so no more sleeping or hiding spot. They all paced the room, sniffing and looking and looking at me with a 'WTH?' look. Then when I put in a large desk and made the room into my office, they REALLY were confused and had to sniff every inch of everything, Mischief likes to sleep on the monitor but not recently because of the heat. No, she likes the crinkly sounds the papers on my desk makes when she curls up onto them. That and pawing at the papers to rearrange her 'spot' and in the process knocking my papers all behind the desk. sigh.........

There's certainly enough room up there for her to meatloaf, and even to curl up. It's not all that warm up there, though.

Sarsi loves the PC tower (And so does Dunzi when she can get a look in) she can curl up on it no problem and not even move the network hub on top if it then again both my cats tend towards petite ~(I've had someone tell me Dunzi MUST be at most 8 months old when she was 3 years old) But she loves it best because it means she gets to lie next to Paw- since he camr back from hospital she don't like to sit anywhere but next to him Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs On 8 Jul, 13:21, jXwXeXrXmXoX...@sonic.net wrote: > My old monitor was really on the way out yesterday, so last night I > bought a new one, a flat-panel. I have been instructed by the Furry masters not to get a flat screen if I do they will not be able to watch Paw eating or jump onto the top of the door Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs >My old monitor was really on the way out yesterday, so last night I >bought a new one, a flat-panel.

Dot says that a flat monitor is great! She likes to sleep behind the monitor, where it's very toasty, and she can stealthily peek out from underneath. Flat panels are like heated oriental folding screens, she says. > Dot says that a flat monitor is great!

Oooo, tell Dot I said thank you for the suggestion. I will try putting Roxy back there to see if she likes it. I'll have to get all the wires out of the way - not that she couldn't sleep on wires, some of the places cats consider "comfortable" are mind-boggling - but she might find it more appealing if I moved the wires and put down her towel. (This is the one that I put on top of my old monitor, in a vain attempt to prevent cat fur from falling into the vent - which I'm sure is what killed it.) Joyce PS - she just jumped onto my desk and she's back there now! Will report on how she likes it. |
