And I have a cold. So I’m sitting at my notebook catching up with some friends by email. Quantum, (my owner,) sneaks under my feet an I don’t notice. I finish an email, reach forward to take a drink of tea, shift my foot and tread on my owner’s tail. Owner squeals and bats my ankle with a pawful of claws. I yelp and jump and hot tea splashes into my, erm, lap. I jump again, a little more energetically, my owner is still round my feet, I lose my balance, fall backwards, pour the rest of the tea over my chest, yell some more and fall to the floor. My owner has it away on her toes, I rush to the shower and spray chest and, erm, lap with cold water. After cooling down I hang my wet clothes to dry, take a comforting shower, step out of the shower stall – stand on my owner, again, slip on the tiles and finish up on my, erm, fundament on the bathroom floor.
And I still have a cold.

Is the cat OK? 😉
Sod the cat!
Make sure you get owned by a dog in the next life!
Better still, get a mammoth, (though you will have to wait four years) then you will be able to see if you are about to tread on its tail.
Read the comments for this article. They are hysterical; well perhaps not hysterical, but mildly amusing, at least.

Put in for a transfer – it’s still the January window!

Buster Keaton could have made a very funny 15 minute short from that scenario. Did you manage to save the keyboard?
