Why not turn your talented (and motivated) Girls onto PhotoShop? A touch of catnip on the 'puter mouse, and you never know what kitty treats might be inspired! @Ken, isn’t there a charity that sells paintings by a horse or a chimpanzee or something?

Claudia is right on... somehow kitties fancy themselves literary lions and wish to create on the keyboard. Jen- I wonder about giving them a keyboard that's not in use as a toy. I think the Girls might find it patronizing and be forced to teach me a lesson... Cat’s are amazing, two sisters are currently running our house.

I am constantly having to tell my female cat no to getting in my lap while at the computer and my very overweight male has to plant himself right on top of the pile of paperwork I am dealing with next to my monitor...this could come in very handy!

We had one cat who was determined to ignore all comfy cushions in favour of sleeping in the dish drainer rack. Go figure. @Claudia, great! Finally - something to do with an oldl busted keyboard. Cat toy! @Mary Emma, you bring up a good point: do you suppose someone makes desktop seats for small helpful children? @Blaine, you've done it now! - you've *almost* made me want to adopt another cat. I have fond memories of a certain Maine Cooon Cat I knew many many years ago... a great huge Guard Cat full of personality... Of course, my <i>erhem</i> fondness for the cat's owner may have swayed my judgment on it just a tad! ;) And by the way, are you sure your mother's cat isn't actually a bobcat? Or possibly a tiger in tabby disguise? @Celine, ouch! I feel your computer-crash pain! @kayellen - ah, this is how we Live And Learn! :) @Simonne – sounds like you have one of those contrary critters who will do the exact opposite of what you want, every time.

My cat loves to lay on my keyboard also. Great idea about the perch...Don't know if my cat Napoleon would stay in it...worth a try! Thanks for sharing!

I installed a keyboard holder that slides underneath the desk when I am not around. I also have a cozy glider/rocker in my home office that my cat prefers to the keyboard. I learned to save as I go after I lost a bunch of files at another job. I save constantly at this job because my work computer has crashed twice since I have been at this job. What I had not planned for was the loss of my outlook address book and messages. I am getting up to speed on how to back up these files. What I have learned: you can never overdo back ups!

I doubt that the company makes beds large enough for her cat though - she's a pure bred Maine Coon and is a little overweight - nose to tail she is about 5 feet long.

I've had small children sitting on my lap, reach out and hit buttons that deleted my work. But not a pet. There's something about computer keyboards that attracts them all! Good idea.

However, I very much doubt that the little monster will just sit there, without anymore unfinished e-mails sending. My cat loves to sit in front of the monitor, so I'm obliged to look at her, and not at the screen. And of course, stepping on the keyboard is the greatest fun ever, when you're a cat.
