Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Cat or mouse?
Suki has a habit of settling on my lap whilst I am at the computer. However, her favourite position is to rest her dainty head on my right hand, which means I can't move the mouse without disturbing her. And if I disturb her, she bites just nicely enough to discourage me from trying it again. So I have a choice, cat or mouse :-) Yowie "Yowie" > Suki has a habit of settling on my lap whilst I am at the computer. > However, her favourite position is to rest her dainty head on my right [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Yowie Cat, of course <G> Let her 'ride' the mouse...wheeeeee LOL Or use your left hand to use the mouse.

Pua always knows when I'm going to the computer and she jumps into my chair. Sometimes I'm not looking and I sit on something squishy that yelps. I've already done it twice today and it's not even 8:00am! kili >Suki has a habit of settling on my lap whilst I am at the computer.

I'll be petting her with my left hand and she'll lean over and start nudging my right hand as I'm tryin to use the trackball. 'Silly hoomin, you're supposed to pet me with TWO hands!" And do get me started with having to clean the cat hair out the trackball every month.... Kristi >>Suki has a habit of settling on my lap whilst I am at the computer. >>However, [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > get a trackball ;-) Years ago, I used to have a track ball. I found it very useful for some things, you could move around alot faster, for example, but found it much harder to use for other things, like drawing and 'click and drag'. This trackball was embedded into the keyboard. Ive never seen a 'seperate' trackball. I wonder how it would go playing World of Warcraft?

Aside from a tendency to eat AA batteries it been great. Doesn't need a mousepad and doesn't collect dust or fur. Come to think of it, it may be the only thing in the house that doesn't collect dust and fur. Jo > This trackball was embedded into the keyboard. Ive never seen a 'seperate' > trackball. I wonder how it would go playing World of Warcraft? I have one of these at home: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/trackballs/devices/156&cl=us,en and one similar to this one at work: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/mice_pointers/trackballs/devices/166&cl=us,en I can still use the first one when Basho is sitting on my forearm. :) I don't play WoW, but I play London Hellgate and Titan Quest, both with no issues. The work one can get the thumb tired if you're doing a lot of scrolling, etc, but the one at home you can use several fingers, so it's more agile.  SignatureVictor M.

It is a "Marble Mouse" model from Logitech. I dislike touchpads, and used a mouse with this computer until I got tired of accidentally knocking it off the small table that the computer sits on. The trackball is much better about staying put, as it has rubber pads on the bottom. SignatureJohn F.
