Meowing Out Loud friends, MOL. Sometimes, I slay myself!
So Mom was preparing my post for tonight when I decided I needed a little petting time. Naturally I had to lay on the keyboard... where else was I to go? Of course I'm shedding, and Mom is on high knot alert, and she rightfully sensed a flank knot. She went in for the kill, and I felt the need to bite her, who wouldn't? Fur-Puller!
In the resulting tussle I managed to turn the orientation of her laptop screen 90 degrees! Holy Cod! She thought a shut down (which took some time just to get the mouse over to the Start button) would do the trick. Nope.
She had to search for the screen properties, and navigate a cascading menu with a mouse that was not even opposite of what she's used too.
Honestly it was a complete hoot! After the irritation wore off, she even managed to laugh pretty hard at her inability to make her brain work differently with her hands. Sometimes kitties gotta lighten the mood, and show others that they really can't take themselves too seriously.
Life's short, go ahead and laugh at yourself, or at least at your humans.
Good one, Fin. Thanks for a good laugh!

Um....just in case anycat has done that to our laptop....how did your Mom fix it? Just asking, you know, hypothetically.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your purrs and prayers for Sniffie. We really appreciate it.

Oh you are talented one, Fin! Next thing you know you'll be offering classes to all of us on how to do this...via Skype!
ReplyDeleteFin, We think you are a genius. We couldn't have done that even if we hadn't tried! Did that make sense?
ReplyDeleteUm...we didn't know you COULD rotate the orientation...you must have magic paws!
MOL! Leave it to you Fin! Hey, all of a sudden our mom is looking for her computer manual...

You are a smart, silly girl, Fin=did you do that to the computer screen on purpose so your Mom would forget about your knot?!!...We are so impressed with your clever distraction, sweetie!!...kisses...Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteOur mom gets irritated, but then laughs too, when Baby steps on keys that open new windows.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine it was sort of like trying to do something while looking in a mirror. Could she have propped the laptop on its side? Still tricky, I bet. Did she ever get back to the fur knot?
ReplyDeleteWhat an ingenious pussy cat you are!!!
ReplyDeleteOh that sounds sneaky. . . and hilarious! Distract her with a furknot and then mess with the computer! hee hee hee
ReplyDeleteOh now that is funny, we had that happen here too and it was something to watch the bean twisting sideways to try and mouse around!

ReplyDeleteWell, you certainly keep your mom's day interesting, Fin!
ReplyDeleteThat's a funny trick you played, Finn!
ReplyDeleteMy grandpa did that once and I wasn't even involved!
ReplyDeleteMOL! Oh, we laugh at our humans every day!
ReplyDeleteHa! Clever trick, Fin! We confess that we laugh at our human every day....
ReplyDeleteGood work, Fin! Do you think your mum will think twice next time she comes in for a grooming session?
ReplyDeleteWe think your mom will close the laptop next time Fin - did she get your knot or is that on the agenda for tonight!!
ReplyDeleteHuh. Well, that's a fitting punishment for a fur-puller. MOL!
ReplyDeleteFin, you are just so smart to get her to mess up the computer, then she forgot about the knot.WEll done. WE are so proud of you and Laughing our cat heads off. Hope you have a great day.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a cool trick, Fin! And what a good way to exercise your human's brain!
ReplyDeleteYou've done us all proud, Fin! Mom kicks me off when I try to lay on her laptop.
ReplyDeleteYour friend

Well that is just too funny - we can picture our mom having trouble with that too! But really, what did she expect being a fur-puller - of course you had to punish her somehow!!
ReplyDeleteFin, you are so funny!! Fur-puller..that's what my mom is too! Lots of love, Holly

ReplyDeleteTell your Momma that my Momma has done the same thing herself (don't ask how she did it she still doesn't know) and she found out the easy way to re-orient the screen is simply to hold down the CONTROL + ALT + ARROW KEY and it will correct the orientation of the screen. Momma had to google that while the screen was sideways and she had to turn the laptop on it's side so the pointer would work. She was a bit frazzled when it happened the first time, but to happen again -- my Momma is a doofus!
