    Printer-cat, Printer-cat,

    Does whatever a printer can

    Prints your paper, any size,

    Out of ink, what a surprise

    Look Out!

    Here sits the printer cat.

        It’s to the tune of the 1967 Spider-Man TV show theme. I imagine the particle man song also references it.

      I know right? My first thought was put a heating pad on the windowsill, and the cat will be much more likely to choose that spot.

        I permanently lured my friend’s cat from sitting on her (warm) laptop power brick by getting the cat a heated cat bed.

        What are they feeding you?

    Cats prefer higher temperatures than humans. Give them any other warm thing to sit on and they will sit there instead.

    Ok, but there’s another cat who is approved to be on the printer?? What’s their story?

      Cats apparently freak out on tinfoil when they land. It’s a great way to train them off your counter tops.

      Though do provide them alternative places to be and paths to where they like to go- cats like to be up where they can see everything, so cat shelves to a cat cave etc or a stool near where you’re working, will encourage them off counters, or desks. Especially with the tinfoil scaring them every time the try and make the jump.

        This recommendation gets passed around a lot online, but usually doesn’t include the reason why it works so well. From a scientific standpoint, it’s because cats movement works off of 5G, which is reflected by heavy gauge tinfoil when the shiny side is facing out. It’s not surprising that sites mostly controlled by the government don’t want that information distributed.

        Unless you’re my cat who doesn’t give a hoot about foil

    using a box as a cat deterrent seems like a fools errand
