Poor Twitch! What's he done to deserve taking all the blame?

The Cat Lovers Front.

Clint merely asked for suggestions. I, too, love cats. As we
all know, cats
love computers; there's lots to see and do, keyboards to walk across,
monitors to sit in front of or on top of, printers to cough a
hairball into,
printers to lie on, paper output to play with etc.

And, now I discover its name is Twitch, I feel that it must be
sufficiently
nervous or deranged for Clint to use an an excuse without any
of us being
the wiser. He could even pay it off with an extra tin of Whiskas not to
blab.

this is from the harlequin staff list .....

Ostensibly merely the Office Cat, whose main duties include knocking over
cups of coffee onto computer keyboards and stepping on the return key at
inopportune moments, actually she is the Mastermind behind Harlequin Games.
Financial Director, Long-Term Strategist and Ripper-of-Furniture, feel free
to direct any complaints directly to her.

In that case, Clint should make the bribe, er, payment *two* extra tins of
Whiskas plus ear-tickling on demand. :slight_smile:

Nah it's from rubbing up on the monitor and collecting up the static,
when they shove their heads into your output tray and get a zap,
they twitch alright. (i also simultaneously had cat and computer
living in the same environment). I just used to love the dirty paw
prints on the keyboard or the snotty nose marks on the monitor
screen.
