Why?

[nlbarber]

Why, when the desk on one side of the keyboard has been cleared almost to bare wood (or wood-like substance), does this cat insist on flopping on the other side, where I must move the mouse by sticking my hand up his butt? And where he periodically moves the mouse himself, and occasionally even manages to click a button?

And he's tucked his nose against my elbow and is purring, just to defuse my thoughts of moving him.

It happens I know the answer to this. Cats are spies. Their job is to figure out what is interesting to humans and transmit it home to the Cat Planet. Since the little camera/transmitters are in their stomachs, all your cat has to do is figure out what you're interested in and put her stomach on it.

(I did not make this up. I heard it from my friend Peg P. many years ago.)
