Found on Facebook:

Has your cat ever walked across your keyboard? Well, it's not a new problem. Medieval book historian Erik Kwakkel recently Tweeted this photo of a 15th century book with... you guessed it... cat paw prints in ink on the pages! We're part of a long and glorious historical movement, friends.

4. My 16lb cat once decided the book I was reading made the perfect napping spot

walked right onto the book, plopped down and went to sleep.

5. He's about that weight and that's his approach to ANYTHING I'm reading.

3. On behalf of my feline overlord

You have it backwards. Cats have been putting up with our shit for a long time.

One of mine is sneaky like that to steal food.

8. My cat sleeps on the keyboard and

attacks the printer.

Once, she screwed up the computer badly after sleeping on the keyboard. When I asked my son to help me figure out how to fix the computer, he understood completely. He and his wife have two cats.
