{clip: Jurassic Park but with a cat}
Had to make time to watch that one!
Looks similar to one of mine!
Cute cat!
I’d forgotten that you typically don’t watch videos. I’m the same- at least, on another forum if a link is posted with no clue what the subject matter is, I skip it. Feels like homework.

Hey, Happy Christmas. Here my Norwegian fluffy thing. Never thought cats can be good fellas - they are against my nature of the one that keeps things under control. However, this one is so calm and so dog-ish ... :-)

Love your cat!

The same one I above mentioned is again curled up on my left arm as I type this.
However, on Friday she bit me and clawed me. Since I don't trim her nails enough one of her needle sharp nails dug in deep and blood flowed profusely.
Then Saturday morning just as I was sitting down to do my normal morning computer "work" (like being here) ... she threw up.
I heard and glanced at her while it was happening but since this seems to be such a daily occurence for her that I did not think much about it.
Until 2 seconds later when my internet went out!
I jumped up to see that she'd thrown up on my $300 modem!
It seemed like she'd killed it.
Luckily I still had a modem I'd bought in 2016 that was still new in the box.
But it led to nothing getting done that morning / afternoon and about 5 hours spent with Xfinity / Netgear trying to get the $300 one going but getting the 2016 one going.
It's possible that the $300 is not dead. Xfinity told me that they could see it but it must not be sending. In a later phone call Netgear said if they could see then I'd just not corrected it to the computer in the correct sequence so that it was sending to my router.
I will try again but not now. That was such a total time waste caused by this beloved creature laying on my arm. Between 2022 and 2024 she cost me $2,850 in two teeth cleanings.
I just attribute all of it to the cost of pet ownership.
She can really be a lovable cat and she obviously has no idea of all the things she causes.
Back to the modem.
I pay for 600 MB from Xfinitiy.
This 2016 modem's limit is about 350 MB while the $300 one is 2.5 GB.
I'm just grateful I still had the other one on hand as I'm so internet dependent.
Finally, I'm looking for some kind of cat repellent spray that I can spray on my modem, router, UPS or in the area to keep all three cats aways from them including being able to throw up on any of them!

Sometimes my cat gets too excited and gives me a love bite because I taste like chicken, but she never draws blood.
All cats want to eat their owners but they can’t. Second best option: give them employment as personal staff.
