No more feline typing!

For geeks with cats, this is probably the coolest thing I’ve seen since the Death Star litterbox.

Kit In Box

If I had a desk, I would totally buy one of these. The Kit In Box is like an inbox for your cat! (So punny!) So instead of having the cat laying on the keyboard, over your arms, etc etc, you can give him his very own cozy bed, clamped to the side of your desk, where he can watch everything in comfort.

The only problem I can see is the fact that most cats, when given a cat bed, will not actually use it. Ah, the mysteries of life…

    The key to making this work is to go out and buy a cheapo keyboard (or use an old one you have lying around) and put it in the bed. I used to do something similar with my ex-roommate’s cat when I was playing console games.

    I’d have the strategy guide out (after the first clear, of course…I have the “Ok, I beat it, now I have to have 100%” OCD thing), and without fail, the cat would plop himself on top of it. I’d push him off and move the book, only to have him on it again in a matter of minutes.

    The answer? Decoy. Put out another guide or something a few minutes before, and he’s on it and snoozing comfortably when you get the real one out.

    Of course, I’d be more inclined to buy this if I actually allowed my cat on my desk xD

    Speaking of strategy guide, I still have your Zelda guide (and Zelda)… but I figure seeing as you have my Metroid, it’s even. Eventually I’ll actually play Zelda… or you’ll want it back. One or the other. :)

    Is there even ROOM on your desk for your cat? ;-)

    You keep saying that, but I doubt it’s going to happen :P

    No, there isn’t. Even when it’s “clean” it’s covered xD

    Hey… one day I will beat Zelda. Probably whenever the new Nintendo system that makes Wii look like Atari comes out.

    One of mine (out of 5!) like sleeping on my laptop or right up against the side where the air comes out. And another likes to be up on my shoulders, sometimes sitting, sometimes sprawled across them. *sigh* and that concludes the time I have for this comment because now I have to go beat the laptop lover who is currently snooping under the kitchen sink cabinet. Ah, life with cats.
