So what is the term for cats commandeering your computers with seemingly random keystrokes?


Catspiracy;

The (not so) far fetched idea that cats, not Illuminate, Knights Templar (Abstergo) etc, really rule the world, with "trained" agents undercover in all areas of the world. For further reference see Futurama episode "That Darn Katz!"

That's not an official definition, but my paraphrase. If someone would like to make an "official" definition, be my guest as I need to decattaminate my work clothes so I don't get in trouble tomorrow.

Catapulting ?


Laughing

That's great, but sometimes they actually catapult off of my belly, so I guess that word is taken.

That's a great word, simply because it has the word "piracy" within it !

We have a frontrunner! I'd like to leave the floor open for additional nominations, not because catspiracy is an inadequate term, but because these words are highly entertaining!

Would you like a burger - it's made from the best cat-tle that we could get, but we were careful when they were put down - we only used the best cat-ling gun available.

I think pussyfooting is a good choice for the phenomenon of computer jacking, piano playing, etc. while catspiracy refers to a theory about feline motivation for a wide range of phenomena, including but not limited to pussyfooting, catamination, and of course, suffocatting.

I prefer to use the word catapult to refer to forcible ejection of a feline.

For instance, once I was peacefully using the facility we humans get instead of a cat box, when the cat decided to dig up lumps of what it had left in the cat box and leave them on the bathroom floor. I firmly (but not painfully) catapulted the perpetrator out of the bathroom, and shut the door behind it. Then I went about my business, and finally cleaned up the cat's business.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that the Jesuits, Knights Templar, Illuminati etc. are cats. They allow a few well trained and trustworthy humans to front for them, and each organization gets a turn running the world.

The only real human secret societies are the criminal organizations. After all, why form a Catmafia if you already control everything?

What if they aren't really human?

What if they're secrat societies ? Rats organizing themselves against the feline overlords?

Proof that cats are indeed from our ancient times is that ancient torture devices were invented by Cats.

The cat of nine tails. ( which explains why they needed 9 lives - 1 for each tail used )
Death by catapult.
The cattle prod.
The rack - which dislocated their victims bones.
Dunking was used when other more sophisticated torture devices were not present.
When they hit you in the knees with cats - Kneecating.
Dragged along by cats - cathauling - sometimes used at sea as well.
Taking your cats away - cat deprivation.
The nastiest of all was when they cut your cat off - cattration - just makes my eye's water.

This had me laughing pretty loudly while I was waiting for new tires.

Cattration is enough to make a pirate catpitulate.
