None of my cats (past and present) have been interested in the printer, though I did have bird who loved to sit on top of it for some reason! My cats have been interested in: curling ribbon, littlest pet shop toys, shoe laces, and cat nip (one of my current cats has a cat nip mouse that he LOVES). I currently live with 3 and 2 of them love to chase each other around the house, one time one of them managed to pull half the table cloth off!
My cats are freaked out by the printer. They'll watch it but they won't bat at it. As for laser pointers... they start going nuts just from the clicking sound.
Aww crazy eyes! My cat goes all crazy at laser pointers and his new thing as of yesterday balloons! He watches them being blown up and he looks like he is going to kill me! :P
Haha are you spying on me? A few evenings ago I set up my new printer and my kitten was obsessed with it. She kept sticking her nose on the flashing light and putting her paw underneath it to work out where the flashing light was coming from. Then when it started printing she was running round it like a lunatic trying to work out what was happening.
Once the printer starts one cat will sit on top of it while another cat sits on the table right on front of it and the third cat sits next to it, so they get it from all angles! Sometimes we'll print something just to entertain them.
OMG it is like you are in our house! My Cody turns the printer on EVERY NIGHT! Even if I put things by him to try and stop him. If he doesn't turn it on he knocks all of the paper out of the tray! Grrrrr
I cant keep any nail files anywhere as my kitty goes nuts and try's to eat them. She also has an interest in taking keys, pens and placing them in undisclosed locations or on the stars. She has also taken to attacking paint brushes. Ah kitty :3
Oh yes, nothing brings out the crazy eye like night time. Have you ever played the flute around cats, though? That makes them crazy like nothing else I know.
My kittys love to sit on the printer, but when it starts, it like: "WOAH!! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!!!??" *also love: flashlighs, stripes(??)and things that can roll, such as pencils
My longhaired kitty Jazz is the opposite with the printer. As soon as you turn it on he becomes demon cat and freaks out if you try to touch him. It's odd because he usually lets you hold him like a baby.
I actually had a pair of cats, one would type on the computer and the other would print it. I would hear it, come in, and see two very guilty looking cats.
*snerk* so true
ReplyDeleteOmg! Like you have noooo idea! and plastic grocery bags!!! :D
ReplyDeleteOne of my cats goes nuts whenever she hears a pen click, because a laser light she LOVED clicked when it came on.

ReplyDeleteMy cat used to sleep on the printer, so she was always there to catch the paper should it start doing that moving thing :)
ReplyDeleteDon't forget hazelnuts on bare floor boards and string. Feline weirdos :D
ReplyDeleteLol same here!!!
ReplyDeleteLol, SO TRUE. My cats also go nuts when the tray of the DVD player opens or closes, grab the remote and it's hours of fun ;-) .
ReplyDeleteI was going to mention the DVD player, as well :D

ReplyDeleteOne of my cats is fascinated by light reflections from my iPad and CDs.
ReplyDeleteMy cat has a thing with her own tail. Seems like she hasn't got yet it is a part of her.
ReplyDeletehahah, I call it "crazy-eyes" as well :)
ReplyDeleteAs my all-in-one is atop a file cabinet, there's absolutely no interest from the feline contingent. But Yasmine -- how could you leave out LIZARDS?!!
ReplyDeleteOMG printers!!!! a nightmare for them!
ReplyDeleteIt's the same at my house!! They are obsessed with the printer!

ReplyDeleteHaha! I read this while I was waiting for a file to print, and keeping one eye out to make sure my cat didn't attack the paper!
ReplyDeleteMy girl goes crazy-eyed for sparkle balls. She's all business, no petting or loves - just throw the damn thing!
ReplyDeleteCause the printers have crinkly paper, beepy lights, and move-y things all at once.
ReplyDeleteI love messing with my cat and watching her pupils dialate :)

and CD/DVD roms.. I can entertain a cat for at least a few minutes by hitting the DVD/XBOX open tray and close tray buttons a few times :D

ReplyDeleteMy other cats like to watch the paper come out.
TRUE :) And my printer always jammed . .when the printer cannot support their heavy-weight . .
ReplyDeleteSIGH !
