Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Problem with Basho
Well, not what you think, Basho is fine. The problem is when I work from home. Basho *has* to be as close to my chest as possible. Right now he's standing between me and the keyboard, making typing difficult. I need to somehow fit a cat bed between me and the keyboard or perhaps get one of those baby slinkys (not sure if that's the real name of the contraptions) and carry Basho around like a baby.

Snuggly? Little character. I'd like to see that. :P Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > Well, not what you think, Basho is fine.

LOL! I know exactly how you feel - it's hard for me to reach the keyboard when I have a 15-pound cat on my lap sucking her toe! If you find a solution, please let me know what it is!!! ;> Hugs, CatNipped > Well, not what you think, Basho is fine. The problem is when I work from > home.

He's only supervising you to make sure that what you write is acceptable... Waffles has a thing about doing this with me. Francis is very much Vernon's cat right now and the same happens with those two. Marble is just mad :-) Cheers, helen s Thank goodness! You scared me!! > Well, not what you think, Basho is fine.

That is cute! I'm so relieved it wasn't what I thought when I read the subject line! Christine > Well, not what you think, Basho is fine. The problem is when I work from > home.

Aww. He just knows you love him best and wants to make sure you don't get lonely. Makes me miss my Rosie. Jo > Well, not what you think, Basho is fine. The problem is when I work > from home.

Don't worry people like that! I'm glad Basho is just being a normal cat. SignatureAdrian (Owned by Snoopy & Bagheera) A house is not a home, without a cat. Wotta relief. =o) I know about velcro cats--I've got two. Francesca concedes that I fill bowls well, and sometimes give good massages and ear scritches, but she'd just as soon be a nodding acquaintance, and isn't ready for anything deeper, yet. Fortunately, Nina and Panther don't both go through this phase at once. =o) Melissa >Well, not what you think, Basho is fine. The problem is when I work from >home.

I have a wide palm rest, which Will can fit on and Heidi thinks she can fit on. If my hands are in the way, they just lie down on top of my hands. It's always fun to figure out which auxiliary key has been pressed and why strange things are happening to my display. So I'm in the process of fashioning a wooden cover for keyboard and mouse pad, with the side toward me open, and with enough room for my hands to operate. It will test my touch typing ability, since I'll no longer be able to see my hands. I'm making it overlarge, in the hope that it will hold two cats when necessary. Then I'll cover it with carpeting. No doubt I'll have to raise my monitor. I'll let you know if the experiment is successful. SignatureWayne M. > >Well, not what you think, Basho is fine. The problem is when I work from > >home.

You could probably make a few bucks with that selling to other ailurophiles - I know I'd buy one! Hugs, CatNipped > I'm making it overlarge, in the hope that it will hold two cats > when necessary.

The only downside is that it would put Issa's butt right at nose level... SignatureVictor M.

The >only downside is that it would put Issa's butt right at nose level... A sight familiar to every cat-slave. I tell Cinders sometimes, "I'd rather see your other end." The cats will no doubt figure out some way to get between you and the monitor. They are smart enough to know that a sure-fire way to get attention from a human (if not necessarily _positive_ attention) is to block their view of whatever they are doing. SignatureJohn F. Eldredge -- john@jfeldredge.com PGP key available from http://pgp.mit.edu "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." -- Hypatia of Alexandria Attn Mothership: OUr campaign to keep hoomins from working at their compooters by blocking their hands and view of skreen is SO successful, they are now building us couches so we can do it more comfortably! Yours trooly, the Cats of Earth. =o) Sounds like a great idea, Wayne. =o) Nina likes to rest her muzzle on my knuckles when I'm typing, or else she likes to sit on the mousepad, AND, naturally on the mouse cord as well. =o) Pan's and Francesca's favorite move is to block my view of the screen, earning them the frequent exhortation "Move your furry A**!"

Aww! He just wants to be close to his Paw. I'm finding it strangely easy to type now, without that constant grey appendage on my left arm that I usually have since Miranda came to live with us.
