Cat Walks Across Keyboard; Shuts Down Website for Months


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.

  1. More than once one of my cat has hit the several keys required to turn the display sideways. even with a lap top, this is untenable.
    My computer guru was even stumped, but he finally solved the problem.

  2. Bet this type of thing is happening a lot these days, with so many folks working from home! My cats would rather chase the screen arrow, but they set their behinds on the keyboard while doing it.

  4. Hahaha. I believe it! You should've seen the shell of a computer that was my first laptop :) Bear manned his own "help desk" of destruction.
