Laptop cat

Macy the cat had another epileptic fit this afternoon. I was in the kitchen making tea and I heard her scrabbling around by the computer desk, came back through and there she was, seizuring away with a long stream of dribble coming from her mouth and the warm smell of cat piss in the air. As she came out of it I gently stroked her until she became aware of me but she was definitely in shock, jumping at any noises and acting very confused at what had just happened. I gave her a bit of love and a few minutes she was better, curled up asleep on the sofa.

As I said when this last happened in October, Macy is a bit mental though in a highly affectionate way and I really like having her around when I’m at home. She also has many many quirks which just add to the whole experience of living with her, one of which is to perch on Sam’s laptop. Here, then, are some photos of my cat. In all the years I’ve had a website I’ve not been able to post up cat pictures, and now I can!

    that is so cool how it sits on the laptop. What a cool cat. I guess it’s not that different from those seats you attach to the radiator. A friend got one of those and the cat hardly ever leaves it. I hope the cat doesn’t have a seizure whilst on the laptop.

    Not to worry Matt, it’s just one of those things. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t know why.

    The weird thing about Macy and the laptop is it’s not switched on so there’s no heat. Aparently she used to sit on an old TV that was in the room leading me to suspect she sits on things that we humans look at a lot, thus hoping for some attention.

    She also seems to have a thing about electronics, always rubbing her face against mobile phones, plug sockets (bit worrying as she dribbles a lot) and so on, though this could be just because they’re hard objects and nice to rub her face on. At the end of the day it’s all speculation with this cat.
