strange times indeed

You will remember that my cat Nefret thinks the best place in the world to sit is in the middle of my laptop's keyboard. To wit, on the previous laptop, now in redcoast's possession:

( And she's looking at me like *I'm* the crazy one. )

(I don't just close it when I'm away from it because there's an external hard drive connected that janabard and grian_ruadh store files on.)

So last night, after dinner, I went off to lie in bed as I felt like my heart was racing and my face was flushed and hot (no idea what that was about, probably too much caffeine). I was back there for a little while, never really did fall asleep but felt better, when grian_ruadh came back to deliver the news. (I'm paraphrasing here.)

G: So, you forgot to put the butt guard down on your laptop.
Me: Whoops. Did you put it down for me?
G [continuing]: I was at my desk and I hear this little click-click, pick-pick sound coming from the direction of your desk.
Me: *dread washing over me*
G: I turned around and that little brat was sitting there, trying to pry your keys off with her claws.
Me: !!!!
G: She only got one off...
Me: !!!!!!!!!!
G: ...but it popped right back on and seems to be fine.

And yes, the 3 is fine, no tool marks (as it were). And she also managed to press and hold down the power button, turning the machine off too.

Guess who's now quite vigilant about the butt guard?

Ahh, cats.
