C as in Catified Computer. How cats can solve your IT problems
Despite the rumors, cats are not dominating 60% of the Internet. I wouldn’t be surprised if cats were spreading that rumor themselves – today the dog, tomorrow the world! Making people think they already dominate the Internet is actually a great tactical move. Cats for president!
Ok then, they don’t statistically dominate the Internet, but ever wondered why cats are nevertheless omnipresent? Neoreach reveals 5 hidden psychological reasons cats dominate the internet. (Here we go again: cats are not even among the 10 most popular topics online!)
Cats sell. Cats rule. Cats make people laugh. Humans just love cats. The IT support from the University of Helsinki seems to be no exception. (Translation: IT problems? Always contact the ‘help desk’ first) Maybe they’re just trying to save their jobs though: I guess few things make people as furious as IT 
problems. A sweet cat picture could protect the computers of the university from computer rage behaviors (wow – this is actually a scientific term!). Anger management at its best!
I’m pretty impressed that my own computer is still working. I tried to make this header work, and after many hours I’m done. Not only with my nerves, but also with the header! Ok, I’m a perfectionist – I’m not 100% satisfied, but I can live with the result. Maybe my shrink is well worth the money after all? I still need to take some IT classes though, because I should fix a child theme to my parent theme. WordPress is sometimes killing me. Hm. Maybe the university’s IT support would help me if I sent them the video of my technically aware cats??
Edit: WUAH!!! Just realized that my wonderful new header sucks on mobile phones. WHAT??? I don’t want to label my blog as “adult content” at the Abc challenge, so I’ll be quiet now. Who said cat pictures can prevent computer rage behavior???

Just don’t ask for help with your printer… 🙂

Haha!!! Great! I do actually have two printers. None of them works. Sigh.

Hello! I’m pretty sure cats can fix anything. We definitely own our cat – I read somewhere that cats can be trained, it’s just that we think they can’t – I don’t like animals in the kitchen, so when we got a cat from a rescue, I trained her. she just sits on the threshold. she also does as she’s told – tell her to go out, she will. Call her, she comes. Tell her to ‘stop’ and she will. No going on any surface, except two windowsills. All treat training. They are clever. I also have an assistance dog. She is my succour. And saves my life. (Her info is on my blog.) Nice to meet you! ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com

Hi Liz,
thank you for stepping by! I’m looking forward to reading more about how you taught your cat. I always thought it was impossible to make cats do what you want. I’m having friends staying over Easter, so I don’t have much time now. But I’ll come back to your blog when I’ve more time!

P.S. Love your header!

Earlier today my one cat thought it was just fine to try to paw the keys while I tried to write:)

Haha! Cats seem to be like small children!

I have been using wordpress for almost a year and still can’t do some things. 🙁
Your header looks great 🙂

I’m sorry to hear that you’re also struggling with WordPress. 🙁 It’s so frustrating, because I’ve spent a considerable amount of time trying to figure out how things work.
Thank you, I really like the header as well! I just had a look at Google Analytics and saw that only 20% of my visitors are using mobile phones. So for 80%, the header should look ok. (I’ve visitors over Easter, and my friend showed me how to read Google Analytics… I wouldn’t have managed to ‘analyze’ myself…)
