Cats and Computer Lingo
Did you know that cats are responsible for the computer lingo that humans think they invented and use everyday? Of course! The following list of terms will surely convince you of this fact:
DEFAULT: Blame. If something gets broken around the house, don’t look at me! It’s probably that human I have to share my house with, or the stupid dog’s fault!
DOMAIN: My house. You know why they named that space the MASTER bedroom, don’t you! If I could only keep the humans out of there.
WINDOW: The best place to watch birds, squirrels, and that dumb dog next door eat out of the trash can and chase cars.
SURF: What I love to do every time the human rolls over in the bed. Dude!
APPLICATION: Rubbing on the human’s leg leaving my perfume and layer of white
fur on his dark pants, so he will think of me while he’s out tonight.
BROWSER: (Not to be confused with bowser, the dumb dog next door.) What I like to be at 3:00 am when I rearrange all your books your desk. Where’s a kitty supposed to lay down with all that mess?
WALLPAPER: My favorite stuff, mostly in the kitchen and bathroom, I use to flex my claws on.
DEFRAG: Coughing up hairballs. Hey, it’s just a little maintenance!
HOME PAGE: My papers — newspapers, that is, that I used before graduating to the real kitty litter box. I think they were the “wanted: dog” ads.
HYPERLINK: Fake hot dog filled with my favorite pick me up, catnip.
MOUSE POINTER: My collection of tips and tricks for catching mice.
PATH: The direct line from my favorite sleeping spot to the never empty food bowl and back again.
SERVER: My human subject. You can’t call them waitress, or waiter, or slave
anymore, it’s not politically correct.
SHUT DOWN: Nap time — my favorite 16 hours of the day.
LAPTOP: Little ole Me. Certainly cuter, more useful valuable, and entertaining. And no batteries are required.
