Put a powered-up Banana on the couch beside you, with either the small one or the large one on your lap instead. Go into a lengthy discussion about the requirements for the banana's existence in the house, and it's potential benefits for all who live under your roof. Then, when the cats are giving you that disdainful, disinterested look, lift them off your lap and place them in the newly warmed spot on the couch that the banana has left behind. Et voila! They will follow that banana around happily evermore. Try this. Put a powered-up Banana on the couch beside you, with either the small one or the large one on your lap instead.

Our dog Kailee is learning PHP/MySQL on the Macbook. She's so silly. I told her Ruby on Rails would be much more interesting. Dogs, on the other hand, love macs.

He runs and leaps into my lap, because it's FINALLY available again. Your cats will not get over this.

(lovely image, I know). My cats like to curl up next to the warmth of my laptop, and I've had a few close calls, so I speak from experience. :) I’d be more concerned about finding a pile of cat puke on the keyboard… (lovely image, I know).
