Hah! Compromise with a cat really means a partial victory for the cat.

Still looks like the cat is winning this compromise to me!

He's already proclaimed it was a temporary concession on his part, and he still owns the entire keyboard, tray, desk, room, and house.

omg lol!

I haven't read the other comments yet, but if this doesn't work out, I suggest plugging in two keyboards so your (clears throat) editor can "input" all he (she?) wants, and you can (quietly) switch to whichever is currently free.

Actually, I have never outsmarted a cat.

So it can have the compurrter anytime it wants, and I go bark at the dog.

Win-win-win!

Things were easier in the days of CRT monitors when the cat's favorite spot was on top of the monitor, because that was inevitably the warmest place around.

I had to work similarly today with my flame point ragdoll draped over my lap and half on my laptop.

So sorry. Rags are so sweet and so insane. Did yours actually get the memo that they are supposed to go limp when picked up? Mine missed school that day.

Weird that but I completely understand your comment. Mostly he wasn’t pure Ragdoll, he had some sort of mixed seal tip . Feisty with adults. But with kids, he went limp. Go figure. He originally belonged to a Christian friend of mine and she ministered to all sorts of kids. She kinda figured God just let Bosco (milk mustache, sorry no smart phone when I had him no pics) , minister to kids also. But with me, it was a little different. He knew I loved him but he made sure I knew who was alpha (not me, LOL). Later in life he mellowed.

My it’s good to talk about relaxing stuff with people I consider friends on line. The fight is good, trust in Jesus and all but sometimes it’s not fun.

My guy is a mix too. He's a purrdoll. Half persian, half ragdoll. He's mostly white with orange tips/mask. Sweet guy but definitely doesn't go limp. Had to actually buy a muzzle (think plastic globe that goes over his head which we dubbed the spaceman spiff helmet) to be able to clip this claws. His half sister who is full ragdoll also missed the limp memo.

I completely agree. Its nice to have these convos and I'm enjoying it. Makes up for all the fighting and dissension out there. My circle is far too filled with those who are still blue-pilled.

And here I thought the war in Ukraine was over, but I see it's something more momentous and unprecedented.

Looks like my pal, Ollie who passed over unexpectedly almost 2 years ago. We were interspecies pals.

Well loved cat and a well loved keyboard, too, I see.

It's true! Lots of clicks on those keys.......and a lot of dirty paw prints, too.

Awww...I miss my lab. When he thought I'd worked enough for the day, he'd come over and use his nose and head to bump my hands off the keyboard so I'd give him a hug.

My Standard Poodle 🐩 does this all the time too. And even puts her nose on the keys, typing quite a mess of a message.

I’m sorry your Lab is no longer with you. 😞

I miss mine too. I think I’ve told all y’all when I used to read real Bible (not iPhone bible), he’d sit on it (spiritual cat by osmosis?). Bad cat 🤣.
