Need a screensaver for my young cat to watch! Help please!

Edited on Thu Nov-02-06 09:06 PM by uppityperson

My young cat loves the marquee scrolling words, occasionally asks to play screensaver by leaning over the top or side of screen and watching intently. Does anyone have any other screensavers their cats like to watch/catch? I have searched for scampering squirrels, but no luck. Thanks.

2. You might just want to Google for screensavers..

I used to have one that had balls bouncing all over the place. It was really frantic and I think your cat would have loved it.

3. I have and there are a brazillion of them. Too many to sort through.

I narrowed it down to "squirrels" and "birds" and "scamper" but still is a bit much. Sounds like the bouncing balls would be good. Maybe I should try "bouncing balls" but am almost afraid to. Thanks.

4. Can't help you there...

..I never encouraged my cats to get near the computer. Figured I didn't need more fur in the keyboard...there is enough fur everywhere else in the house! Sorry I couldn't help you. :hi:

7. Re: Kitty fur & keyboards.

I have kitties and know the fur vs. keyboard issue well. Have you considered one of these? I have found this keyboard cover a lifesaver. This is the one for Mac, I know they have them for PCs as well but I don't know where to find them.

Here is a Windows port of it.. It runs very slow on my old PC.. The OS X version kicks ass on my Mac.
