I have three cats, and one MacBook. You’d think that pure numerical superiority would be enough for the cats to feel confident in their lot — but that’s not entirely the case. Even the fact that the MacBook is only portable where the felines are fully mobile isn’t enough for them.

Like most apprentices, Alf was given all the tedious, noisy, potentially painful jobs that nobody else wanted to do.
