Printer-cat, Printer-cat,

Does whatever a printer can

Prints your paper, any size,

Out of ink, what a surprise

Look Out!

Here sits the printer cat.

It it me or I just read it in tune of Particle men. Or is it a parody of particle men.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's to the tune of the 1967 Spider-Man TV show theme. I imagine the particle man song also references it.

"But... It's warm! Warm things are meant for sitting on!"

I know right? My first thought was put a heating pad on the windowsill, and the cat will be much more likely to choose that spot.

I permanently lured my friend's cat from sitting on her (warm) laptop power brick by getting the cat a heated cat bed.

What are they feeding you?

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Cats prefer higher temperatures than humans. Give them any other warm thing to sit on and they will sit there instead.

Why not get the cat a heated blanket instead?

If you buy something for a cat, they won't use it.

Ok, but there's another cat who is approved to be on the printer?? What's their story?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

using a box as a cat deterrent seems like a fools errand

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Who would have thought that a box of all things would be a useful cat repellant.
