I'm surprised that more of them are not straddled over the heat vents of the computer or monitor, but they probably wish we were still using CRT based monitors that really produced a great amount of heat!!! :Smirk:

+1!!! Agreed!!!
But a padded platform would certainly be an added benefit that they would appreciate I'm sure.

But sometimes, just the keyboard will have to do. :Smirk:

Evidently that cat is not very fussy where he sleeps, notice that the machine he's using for his bed is an LG. (Or maybe he's just being smart.) :rofl

Ah Patrick, you must remember that cats' eyes are good in the dark, but in daylight, to them LG means Looks Great. Hence his/her repose. Beautiful cat if I may say so.

They may be thinking of the real LG meaning = Life's Good which seems appropriate for its position.

BTW: That is not a photo of any of our cats even though I have had several Siamese cats of various point colors (seal. blue. lilac and red) over the years.
