in the middle of a printing job!


I was printing out the lapidary newsletter and Ari started poking around for the monster in the printer. He sat on the power button and turned it off. Had to start all over again.

Bo is notorious for this!
He also likes to hit the "copy" button... over and over and over and over..

I've come home to dozens of blank pages on the floor

He was only protecting you from that scary monster!

Davidson loves to do the same thing!

Manytoes thinks the printer is an excellent cat bed, and takes no notice to the fact he often lies on "test" and "copy" buttons....I too often find numerous blank and/or print test pages on the floor upon arriving home!

Anya usually just sniffs at it and bats it with her paw while its printing. Although the other day I heard Brian yell her name while he was trying to print out a script. She was sitting in the paper tray blocking the paper from coming out and trying to make the printer jam...

This is why I always leave the printer off, and luckily, my printers have switches to turn them on rather than buttons!

Take that monster!

Charlotte did one better and actually managed to pull the power cord from the back of printer. For some odd reason cats are fascinated by the printer. I keep coming home from work expecting to find it on the floor.

They like to help. Everyone knows that we humans can't do anything right without feline supervision.

Don't you love it when the help?


I tried to get some copying done this morning only to discover that someone had changed the language to German and I had to go through the whole process to get it back to UK English before I could get started!

Yay Ari. Lucy and Carly test the printer at least once a week.
