GEEK CAT TOY OF THE WEEK: THE DESKTOP CAT BED

by Hazed

My cat loves me, and just wants to be near me all the time. This means that when I am sitting at the computer, she wants to sit on my desk. I have more or less trained her out of sitting on the keyboard, but that leaves the left side, where she covers up whatever papers I am working with, or - worse - the right side, where she considers the mouse mat to be a special cushion just for her.

Now somebody has come up with something they think will help all us beleaguered cat-loving computer owners. Or computer-loving cat owners. Whatever. It's a special cat bed that clamps to the side of the desk. Kitty can curl up in it, and still get that warm and loving feeling from being close to you, but without actually getting in the way.

Yeah, right. Cats positively thrive in getting in the way, and in my experience they avoid anything they are supposed to sit on, or in, in favor of sprawling in the most inconvenient place they can find. Take a look for yourself and see if you want to spend $49.99 on the kitinbox cat perch.
