cats and computer screens

even as i'm typing this, both my boys are up on my desk watching the little cursor go! i've tried training them to not leap up on my desk as i'm typing, but now they've trained me to do my work while only being able to see half the screen.

anyway, since we make such a big deal about how video games/t.v. can rot our eyes, i was wondering if this is going to affect their eyesight in the future? i catch them staring at my screen saver sometimes when i'm away.

I hope not!

I hope not, too! My girlies love to help me when I'm online, both making a much better door than window when they want to drape themselves across the keyboard to keep a close watch on the monitor or get Mommy's fingers while I'm typing!

Same here because Rosie nearly has her nose up against the screen sometimes when she's chasing after the cursor

Oliver's not so much into looking at the computer moniter than standing between me and the screen looking at me and demanding attention... he is a tv junkie like his mama though and always gets to watch Animal Planet or one of his Garfield movies when I go out.... he loves sports like football, hockey, baseball and nascar too!

I don't think it will hurt their eyes unless they stare at it for many hours a day, every day. I work with computers and I just went to the eye doctor yesterday. He said that my eyes have gotten so much worse in the last year.
