New Kitty and the printer....

New Kitty has a whole bunch of odd behaviors -- most of which are amusing.

Her "issue" with the printer is not.

Every time we print something, we have to first kick her out of the office. If we don't, she'll go into 'freak out/hunter mode'. Then she'll jump on our desks and go after the printer, like it is trying to kill us... this usually involves stepping on our keyboards and anything else in her way --

If we try to pick her up while she's in 'freak out / hunter mode', we'll need stitches...

I just printed a 44 page document (a version of my Supreme Emergencies paper -- YEA!). As soon as New Kitty realized the printer was going, she started banging her front paws on the French doors to our office... the look of concern on her face was flattering, but we knew that letting her in would result in injury....

My two 4 month old kittens do that to the vacuum... and the blow dryer... and the electric screwdriver... and anything else that makes a rather loud noise!

I was going to ask how she feels about vaccuums. I had a dog who LOVED being vaccuumed. Seriously, she'd get in the way, lie down in front of the thing and stuff. But another dog I had thought vaccuums were trying to eat him. Is it the noise with your kitty, or the paper spitting, or?

She's pretty wary of the spot bot, but doesn't seem to mind the vaccuum -- because I have control over it.

She doesn't like things that both make noise and seem to move spontaneously -- although, she has adjusted to the automatic litter box, probably because her love of a clean box lets her ignore the thing's movement once she's done in there....
