OWENSBORO, Kentucky – The Whisker Times recently resumed operations
following an inadvertent four-month hiatus resulting from a cat walking across the
computer keyboard. Bagheera, a sable colored house panther from Kentucky, joyfully
trotted across the keyboard in January and proceeded to shut down the cat news
website until late May. “When someone says there’s a computer mouse on the
desk, I’m going to chase that robotic demon,” mewed Bagheera, “I guess the
keyboard was just an innocent bystander.” By somehow holding down the Control
and Alt buttons at the same time, Bagheera also hit the down-arrow button,
causing mass confusion and the newspaper presses came to a grinding halt. A breakthrough
came months later when she again strolled on the keyboard to distract her
caregiver while he worked from home and operations were fully restored.
