The Cat Scratched The iPad. What About Screen Protectors?

admin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 21:05:54 +0000

Although my cat is gray, I only see black when I look at her these days. If I told you she managed to scratch my new iPad, you’d understand why gray is the new black. Seriously, I was playing with the iPad, when somebody rang at the door. I went to see who was there, but unfortunately I left the iPad on the coffee table, with the screen up. I have no idea what my cat thought that was, but I found her all over it, scratching it as if she wanted to dig in search of some hidden treasure.

I’m sorry I don’t have a picture of the scratch, but I couldn’t bear to see it on my blog. It’s enough I’m seeing it in real life each time I use my iPad. But do you know what’s the worst of all? I had just ordered a great screen protector and it was to be delivered to me in a couple of days. I was impressed with its features, as it seemed to be extremely resistant, just what one needs when cats make the rule in a home. Here’s the thing, if you want to read more about it: http://i.padaccessories.info/ipad-screen-protector/. They say it’s made from a military grade material. I suppose this is better than cat-grade, so the kitty wouldn’t have had a chance to do onto my iPad what she just did.

Anyway, I hope that screen protector would somehow hide a little the ugly scratch. If not, I’ll see what I’ll do next. Meanwhile, the only one in our home who still has sweet dreams is… The Cat!!!

One more thought before I go: it’s still good I have a cat and not a squirrel. The scratch would have been much worse, I think. Just look at these claws:

My Cat Loves Paper Bags. What About Yours?

Long time, no see. I hope you all had a great start in 2010. I didn’t have too much time to write here lately. I’m glad to hear some of you miss the cat blog carnivals we used to host. It’s possible they come back soon with new adventures from our lovely cats.

For today, I have a special post featuring my Russian Blue cat (known as The Cat) and The Bag from a birthday present I got from a friend earlier today. Here are the photos:

Cute, isn’t it? Well, if you want to sleep the night after you get a present wrapped in such a cat-suitable paper bag, don’t let the bag and the cat in the same room over night. Believe me, paper bags can make a terrible noise when provoked by playful cats.

Talking cats

Taking cats are rather cartoon characters than real life pets. At least this is the first thought that comes to my mind when I hear the words. Nevertheless, I have to admit that I have a dialog with my cat, in which she knows how to tell me what she wants in a very suggestive manner. Like all talking cats, my cat has a fabulous body language and her voice is an efficient instrument of expressing her feelings.

Talking Cats or Meowing Humans?

When I think back to the days when I was trying to tame the beast, when I attempted the clicker training until she refused the treats and treated me with her back side, I feel like smiling. Why? Because two years later, instead of having a trained, talking cat, we ended up by her having a talking cat language master . Isn’t this funny? I know the meaning of so many meows of her, that I could write a dictionary (if only I knew how to spell cattish).

A city cat would have different sounds than a countryside cat. An indoor cat would meow like “please, open that door for me quicker!”, while a night cat would climb on the house roof and cry out loud in the night, like a rudimentary cat telegraph, transmitting messages over the hills.

There’s one common point of all taking cats: a cat in heat. Cats in heat would always have the same call for tomcats which can drive you crazy and sleepless. Of course, cat neutering has a heavy word in this conversation, as it may neutralize cat aggressive behavior especially in male cats.
