Caturday: Parallel computing, feline style

by Steven Sande (Jan 12th, 2013)

This week's Caturday heroes are Root (on the right) and Cisco (on the left), who are, according to owner and TUAW reader Jules F., enjoying some parallel computing. It looks like these cuties are making it twice as hard to get anything done! If you've got a Caturday nominee to share, let us ...

Caturday: CatBook Pro, non-Retina edition

by Michael Rose (Jan 5th, 2013)

This week's Caturday model is Aria, who delights in interrupting the work habits of her person, reader Mike M. Her modus operandi: "While I work, she'll quietly walk on and spread herself across my computer, and in seconds, passes out." Anti-GTD via narcolepsy! Very clever. If you've got a ...

Caturday holiday edition: Cold weather, warm seat

by Michael Rose (Dec 29th, 2012)

This week's Caturday model is Capties, who loves the toasty hum of a 2009 Mac mini underneath the hindquarters. Reader Ethel B. notes that her husband doesn't think cat pressure is good for the mini, but she convinced him to snap this photo before gently removing Capties to a neutral ...

Caturday: Kitten on the Dashboard

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Dec 8th, 2012)

From reader Steve G., here's Smudge who was a kitten when this picture was taken (hence the vintage iBook G4). Now Steve says she's "massive and wouldn't even fit on a 17" MacBook Pro!" You can view the original here. Thanks Steve, I wonder if you still use Dashboard? You can send us your ...

Caturday: The Snuggler

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Dec 1st, 2012)

Caturday: holiday shopping edition

by Michael Rose (Nov 24th, 2012)

Caturday: Liam has a particular set of skills

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Nov 17th, 2012)

Caturday: Mac Plus kitty

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 20th, 2012)

From her owner Allan: "Katie, the cat in the picture is no longer with us, but when I got my Mac Plus (1987) and she was a kitten, she loved to chase the pointer on the screen. Of note in this picture: the old hard drive (it might have been an Apple 5MB serial or a Jasmine 20MB SCSI) and ...

Caturday: Cool breeze

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 13th, 2012)

Actually this kitten may be getting a blast of warm air, depending, but the cat looks content to bask in the glow of an iMac's screen during naptime. Something fun for a Saturday as we cruise towards Halloween. Got a Caturday pic? Send it to us via our feedback page. Don't like Caturday ...

Caturday: Cat's paw

by Victor Agreda, Jr. (Oct 6th, 2012)

Cats love computers, but love mice even more. This kitty appears to be using an old Pro mouse, the ones Apple used to replace the nearly-universally reviled hockey puck mice. No cat would touch a hockey puck. Got a cat pic that involves an Apple product? Send it along via our feedback ...

by Michael Rose (Sep 29th, 2012)

Caturday: Kitty wireless

by Michael Rose (Sep 23rd, 2012)

Late on Caturday, reader Paulo Vinicius Vitto Ruthes shares his cat's preference for a warm alcove atop the Mac mini Airport Extreme, sorry. He notes that the image is a bit old, and while the cat still likes that spot it's not so easy for him to fit there anymore -- see below. If you've ...
