and it’s a mac – hope his owner has good health insurance for the coming heart attack …

Not only that, but the Beedlemyer’s will be greatly surprised by the huge shipment of kitty treats from Chewy when it arrives next Monday.

I do hope that Milton won’t be TOO mad that 4 days of Analytics are gone without a trace.

Even worse, he closed Beedlemyer’s project plan without saving it.

Toby killed Beedlemyer’s almost finished tax return too.

It’s nice to see Toby once in a while. I like him.

Way to go, T! Keep those hunting instincts ready!

“hmm, thought Toby, ‘mouse’? Where have I heard that word before?” … And then it clicked.

This is why I have a cordless mouse.

We once had a cat that would do that. This was before optical mice became widely available. She would sit on the mouse pad and play with the mouse (like it was a real mouse). I was forever getting cat hair out of the mouse ball. I finally had to break down and get an optical mouse.

Yup.. that’s one that will no longer create mischief, well done Toby.. treats for you later.

Toby’s keyboard skills are still at hunt-and-peck.

Wait ’til they see the POD slip!

Wait until they to see the POD slip. Hmm, not sure that is a thing anymore. POD = ‘Pay On Delivery’.

Very funny! Until it happens to you.

That cat seems to have a bit of heft, more than a nodding acquaintance with gravity, and no mistake.

It did stop that annoying clicking.

My cats enjoyed a rainy day indoors playing with a remote controlled mouse. It doesn’t work on carpet but, if you take off the heavy casing, it can really zip around. :)

The Beedlemyers were slack-jawed at what the cat brought in.

Wait’ll AI gets involved in this little game of cat and mouse…

Just a little Light Mousework.

In hindsight, maybe the Beedlemyers should have switched to a laptop with a touchpad.

Good evening Balladeers!
