This is the second time he has clawed away several keys on my home PC. Now I have to type without the numerical one key and I am also missing the ff key and all the letters are loose! I want to kill that feline monster!
He also managed to find his way into my clothes closet and left his hair every where. He made it a point to shed white hair on my black gear - everything from underwear to shirts. I could so kill him right now.
The last time he did that it happened on a work laptop and I had to make up a fantastic story about how the keys managed to dislodge themselves on the machine! It involved a convoluted story about a spirit in the office.
The IT person for the company I used to work had to fix the machine and he said this is the first time he has never seen such a thing.
That silly cat has been bored and pissed with me because I did not have time to buy his favourite cat treats nor play with him for the last 3 weeks. He has everything a cat could want. A 4 story cat house, a new toy every week, scratching posts in every room and more love than I even get myself.
If I am ever reincarnated I want to be a stay at home cat like my monster who watches TV all day, has a female companion and who enjoys air conditioning the whole day on as I am concerned he will suffer because of the heat in Singapore. And this is what this ungrateful creature does when he feels neglected! He has a better life than I do. Sigh.
Tonight after a very tough day at work I made it a point to get him his treats (before discovering the destruction)
Does anyone want a 6 year old good looking male bicoloured Ragdoll with an attitude?
Thanks for reading

Killing cats is a fine old American tradition, usually at night, in a graveyard, under a full moon.
If he is a black cat, you can boil down his remains to make a Mojo Bone.
Good luck with your project.

I would hide the keyboard where he can't get while I'm at work. I have 3 cats myself, and one likes to try to use my aloe plant as his litter box. When I go to work, I lock the plant up in my room.

Awwww poor kitty. He just wants attention. For some reason, my cats love to mess up my laptop. I always have to close it even if I go to my kitchen for something to drink. Putting the keys back on is a pain in the ass. Ive had to do it many times. The trick is to be as calm as possible, seeing that putting them back on is enough to drive anyone insane. Forgetting the cat treats around here is a dangerous thing. Especially if you touch the bag and they all come running to find there is only about 3 left. Ever try giving one to each? That is painful in so many ways. The twins like to jump and climb, even if I dont have pants on.
Just take a deep breath and relax, cats will be cats.

Turn the keyboard upside down when you are not there. According to my dog, the cat will be mystified, and think that you are a mighty sorceress that can make things disappear, like keys, and cats!

My bicolored Ragdoll/mix is a big BABY! He just lays around, eats, cuddles, then lays around some more. BUT.... one of my smaller cats is anther story.... I was able to get MOST of my keys back on my computer, but one of them is actually stuck on with Scotch tape . It wouldn't snap back on, so the tape runs across the key and is secured to the keys on each side of it. Has worked that way for over a year now...

The lady who has been my trading mentor for several years has two cats... and although they do not try to destroy her keyboard.... they have caused her some grief by walking on the keyboard as she is entering orders and that has been trying for her..
Those cats occupy a large part of her life as her children are grown up and gone...
I guess a cat can be a great buddy....

Don't kill the cat because YOU left the closet door open for him to explore to cure his boredom..
As for the keyboards.... if it's your laptop.. you have many good suggestions.. he/she is doing it because it's a nice and warm place to lay down.. If it's your PC keyboard.. I agree with the rest.. turn them over or cover them up..
Poor Kitty was just trying to talk to you about not getting the treats.. next time listen...

Thank you everyone for your comments. That spoilt brat of a cat and I have made up- for the first time in weeks I allowed him to knead me while I typed. This 6 year old cat is middle aged in human years and still behaves like a 6 month old kitten.
Now he has decided after gorging on his treats to sleep on his back -limbs akimbo. Some creatures don't understand how good they have it.
BTW I am not weird by any means but he and I share not only the bed but also the pillow. He decided one day he wanted to do it and so he did. Some days I wake up to find his half his head on my forehead and the other half on the pillow .

It is true that cats will be cats. They are by nature murderous animals which kill for pleasure and you should keep that in mind when you sleep.
I suggest you check out the visited sites record on your computer because I have a strong hunch the cats are doing Google searches to research how to kill you, steal your identity and perhaps even how to drive your car. Please keep any credit card info off and away from your computer or they will order Kibbles and Bits by the train car load. Once the order is delivered you may wake up to find half of your head on the pillow and the other half in the next room. Cats will be cats... I would buy a shotgun.
