Clever little devils!

My new computer has the off switch on the top!! and yes, it has been turned off (or on) several times by cat feet.

Aw, come on Mom! We're MUCH more interesting than anything on that silly old compooter!

I don't know that I could afford to have and Aby! I'm right in the middle of my Thesis and I would hate to have my computer turned off in the middle of that! Still, they are beautiful. Let's see, could I say my cat ate my homework?

Yup, our kitties do manage to get into lots of things no matter how careful we try to be. For some reason Groucho thinks my hearing aid is a great new toy I'm depriving him of.

Boy life with an Aby cat sure keeps you on your toes, doesn't it.

I've had my radio go off a few times in the middle of the night also and it scares the daylights out of me every time. Especially since my volume is turned up.

Well you don't need to have Abys to have things in your home moved, broken, or messed up. I have 2 surge protectors under my computer desk and I intentionally put the power buttons in the back so that my cats wouldn't turn them off or on. I keep the one with my tv, modem, wireless router, and lamp on all of the time and the one with my computer and small lamp off when I'm not using my computer. They still end up bumping into my wireless router or modem some times so then I don't have internet access until I unplug them, plug them in again and then start my computer again.

I have to keep my closet doors locked with elastic bands so that they can't open them up and get into trouble or become locked in the closet all day. I have to keep important papers in drawers so they don't chew them up. I basically have to child proof my home.

...but it sure helps

They are so industrious, always at work, and yes their paws are smaller than many others. But they get a little calmer- and Aby at 10+ is only like an ordinary kitten at 9 months

My cats change the channel on the remote!

I know this very well since Sunny is an Aby mix. He'll be 9 years old on Aug. 25th and he still acts like a big kitten. I call him my eternal kitten.

Cassie wants to know why pens and pencils must be stuck into cups. She prefers that they be left lying on tables so that she can swat them onto the floor. Pencils work better than pens because they bounce on the eraser end. Silly hoomins sticking pencils into cups!
