Those darn Luddite cats, anyway!

One of my cats does the same thing. She has even learned which button to press to print a test page!

Eddie comes running when he hears the printer and has been known to perch atop it watch ing the sheets come out, but I don't think he's ever torn anythng up like that. His destructo-specialty is chewing through electrical cords.

That was awesome. Looked like one of my cats too.

I rarely print things anymore so the cats are still at the curiousity stage when it fires up to start printing things. But I figure if I had to print > 5 pages at a time, they'd do the same thing. I'M YOUR HOME OFFICE SAVIN'YUR TREES!

It's our fault for creating technologies that mimic the motions of prey.

I'm sure Rupert The Woolsucker would totally do that if my printer worked.

Off-topic cat anecdote:

I was awakened at 3 a.m. by the sound of a paper bag rustling in the kitchen. My first thought was that the big cat had found a new paper source to pee on. But I reached out my hand, patted the cat butt next to me, and discovered that the big cat was still in bed.

So I trudged to the kitchen and discovered that the little cat -- who has lately abandoned her bug-catching duties out of either boredom or advancing age -- had cornered a roach behind the recycling bag.

It ended well. After briefly being pissed at me for turning the light on, she resumed her hunt and ate the bug. Except for the legs, which she left on the floor for the rest of us.

Carry on.

Oliver goes nuts when the printer starts up. BUT! He doesn't care about the paper. He like to watch the printer-head go back and forth. He likes it so much he removed the encoder strip out of my previous printer. Fucking cat. I loved that HP printer. Anyway. He doesn't like the new Epson as much because he can't see inside of it while it's printing. Ha! Foiled you, you little shit!

Awesome video. The only thing my cat loves as much is the toilet immediately after flushing. Woo - hoo!!!

Oh yes, toilet flushing!

I've always said, you've got to love a creature who's fascinated by a flushing toilet.
