Cats and dogs totally dig Macs
Christopher Phin over at his wildly optimistically named blog, Receding Hairline, has brought my attention to a brilliant Flickr group called "Cats love Macs." As the name implies, the photos all feature two elements: a cat and a Mac. With over 230 members, it's pretty clear that cats really do like Macs. There's plenty of space for canines in the similar group called "Dogs love Macs too!" Some highlights from the cat group include Mac owner's pets lounging on toasty iBooks and pawing at new MacBooks or even jumping on top of eMacs. Fortunately for the owners, no poo is involved at this point. Now, how about a "Humans love Macs" Flickr group?

I hate cats. I hate it when the bloody things sit on my car. I would particularly hate it if a cat sat on my Mac.
This photo is a vision of hell. ;-)

I think mac-people are cat-people. Does cat woman use a Mac? Yet another viking. :)

What's wrong with cats? They are soft, warm, silent, and have self respect (unlike dogs....)

i like cats, but i bought my powerbook used, and the previous owner was a pet owner, and there are TONS of pethair under the keyboard. it has taken me a long time and strain on my eyes to try to pluck them all out.
now i know why ebay sellers stress that their items come from a smoke-free, pet free home

Give me a cat over a dog anytime. My cat loves my G4 tower, and he has an infinity for Monty, too.

My cat used to love my old Mac monitor it would sleep on top...all of which died from unknown causes...after 3 replacement monitors from Apple(warranty) my local repair center tried to fix the last one and called me to curse me as when he opened it up tons of fleas escaped into his pristine tech repair shop...
worked fine after I stoped the cat sleeping on top.

My cat hated me when I switched from a 19" CRT to a 20" Cinema Display! Harder to sleep on top of :) She got a bit of a shock when she jumped up and there was nothing there! Teehee. Now she sleeps on top of the cinema display box by the window up high

while we're on the subject, i have a concern about the new macbooks. it seems from photos that the keys on the new keyboard have gaps under them that lead into the very guts of the machine. it looks like it might turn into cat hair hell after a while!
macbook + cat owners - any thoughts?
