It is possible my cat is better at using my computer than I am. For years, he has mainly found it useful for the screen — he can rub his face on it, what’s not to love? But recently he has started walking over the keyboard more and more, and has now progressed to sitting on it any time he wants my attention.

He is exceptionally good at getting itunes to open. About 50% of the time, he actually manages to get a movie to start playing in itunes. I find this astonishing. It’s not like he walks on the touchpad — this is all just from him mashing the keyboard keys.

Full disclosure: I have no idea how to open itunes using the keyboard. Is there a shortcut? Does any random keysmash do the trick, or is it some specific combination of keys?

At least I know that if the touchpad ever stops working, I can just leave the computer on the floor, and the cat will make something happen. Maybe a movie!
