Mwow, my kitty friends! Let’s chat ’bout gaining control of de computer. It can be hard to commandeer de staff’s computer so you can blog or Facebook or check your email or website. For some reason, dey be tinkin’ dey have dibs. Whatever.
My good friend Anne, in Scotland posted dis video de udder day. It be Simon’s Cat(!) demonstrating exactly what I wants to share wit you.
Heh, heh, heh….dat Simon’s Cat! He be so funny! Anyways, Let’s be talkin’ ’bout tings dat staff be callin’ “irritating tactics” and what I be calls Purrsuasion.
- Mwowing: Dis be de easiest. Go into a room where staff and computer aren’t and mwow. A lot. Use different pitches and volume. Staff will yell your name and ask you to be quiet or come into de room where dey are–don’t do it. Dey will eventually get up to see what be buggin’ you and dat’s where you dash in and switch users on de computer.
- Walking on staff: Hop up on de chair or couch or whatever staff be sittin’ on and walk back and fort and back and fort over dey lap. Be sure to let your tail brush across dere face. Sometimes stop and lay on dey hands to make de typing difficult. Staff will give up and set de computer aside to snuggle wit you. Dat’s when you hop down and go fur de computer.
- Chewing: Chew on de side of de computer. Chew on anyting stickin’ out of de USB port. Pretend to chew on de cord–don’t actually chew on de cord my kitty friends, dat be dangerous! Again, staff may give up becuz you be so pestery and set de computer aside.
- Loud disturbance: Go to a different room from staff and knock someting over. Staff will yell and come to investigate. Opening cupboard doors works, too. Especially if you open dem just a bit and let dem slam closed repeatedly.
- Visual distraction: Hop up on some place where staff sez you’re not supposed to be in a place where staff can see you. Dey will yell at you to get down–don’t. Make dem set de computer aside and come “scare” you off dat place.
You can be see dat dese purrsuasions work, cuz I be a-bloggin’! Heh heh heh! What techniques do you be usin’ to get your way, my kitty friends? Mwow!
