So, ever since the whole “my computer is dead” drama, I’ve been leaving my computer up and running/sleeping (and open) all the time (since shutting it down could mean having to go through all of that again).
Well… I came out to my computer today, before heading out to Scott’s surprise birthday party, and the screen was BLACK. I nervously tapped a few keys, wiggled the mouse, checked the plug… nothing. “Oh, crap,” I’m thinking.
Then I recall how my animals seem to love the warmth of the open laptop (and the conquering of the only creature in the apartment I seem to spend more time with than them and Keith) and hit the brightness key, only to find that, yes, one of my lovely kitties has found the tiny little button and blackened my screen at some point.
After checking email and getting the address to the party for Mapquest, etc., I hide Entourage and Safari and see four new PDFs sitting on my desktop. Huh? What are those? “Keith, did you put four PDFs on my desktop for me to look at?” “No.” “Oh my God. Did the cats turn off my screen AND take four screen captures AND save them as PDFs?” “No way.” “No. You’re right. There’s no effin’ way.”
Ladies and gentlemen, I present the following evidence: first capture, screen on. Second capture, screen being dimmed. Third capture: screen dimming complete.



Granted, I had to size these down a bit. The original files were saved at a size of 53mb each. Cats don’t get the need to scale images to something a bit more appropriate for sharing.
Holy crap, these are some crazy kids!
