ok, for a more cartoony approach...

*ties a rope around his hammer*

*bounces hammer off Taera's head*

*reels in hammer*

*wonder's if he should bounce the hammer off Taera's head again as explaination?*

well, it seemed like some people thought my laser wasn't cartoony.

'no, cat, you cannot rub your head against the keyboard'

'and i'd rather you not rub it against the cd's'

Narf, be nice to your cat otherwise on behalf of felines everywhere, I shall instruct it to bite your leg off.

Perhaps you can curb it's rubbing on things using the Pavlovian behaviorial technique of pounding it on the head with a giant mallet.

Bad idea. The cat's rubbing its head on things to leave its scent. IOW, it's marking its territory. If you discourage it from rubbing it may try another method. Not good for the keyboard.

Hmmmm, cats generally rub their heads to scent mark their territory or as a sign of greeting (if you watch cats, when they walk up to each other, they either hiss and spit, ignore each other or rub heads).

My cat has a new one. Most of the time when you see it, it gives you that "I'm not hungry and your' not interesting" sort of look, but in the morning, it has taken to jumping into the car if I make the mistake (as I often do) of opening the car, and then having to go back to the front door to give the current Mrs GT a goodbye kiss.

So far, this has resulted in me getting up to 3 miles into my journey to work, before I have had to turn round cos I noticed a small furry shape sitting on the backseat, or have heard a yowl of discomfort as I took a turning too fast!

Hmm... noting the reaction to Stone Mill's post there seems to be an unwritten rule against applying cartoon violence to cats, or perhaps all household pets, or even all non-sentient beings, or maybe just all non-posting beings, the self-awareness of cats perhaps being subject to some dispute.

That said, let me tell you that a bat-out-of-hell has nothing on a cat-out-of-a-cardboard-box (friend did not wish to purchase a pet carrier).
