My cat Roshi likes to sit on top of my computer monitor and gaze at me like I’m Almighty God. This would be enormously flattering except for one thing: Roshi has all the intelligence of a speed bump. (But he *is* adorable!)
Yesterday, he was sleeping on the monitor when he suddenly went completely limp. I mean, like he just died! Scary! In a nanosecond he slid off the back of the monitor and through the small gap between the desk and the wall, knocking over – but not breaking – the lamp with the glass shade and the pencil/pen/cup.
I looked beneath the desk and he’s standing there on the floor, looking completely befuddled. He didn’t show the slightest trace of cat attitude – i.e., “I didn’t do *that*! Some *other* cat did that stupid thing!”
No, he just looked half-asleep and puzzled, clearly not able to make out how on earth he got *there*.
So I petted his head, and he was fine. Then I picked everything up and went back to work.
Later that same day he managed to turn off the power switch on the power strip to the same computer...!

Glad you like the icon! It's a screencap from "Shore Leave". Gotta love canon scenes like this...!
I don't think all the brain food in the world will help Ropshi, but he sure is sweet! He's up on the monitor even as I type, gazing at me, eyes slowly going shut as he gets ready for another nap...
