Cats and trackpads

In the interest of SCIENCE – and because this AskMeFi question is so facinating – I am going to see if Dr. Amy Jones can operate a computer laptop trackpad tonight. Stay tuned for the experiment results.

Later: Well, she moved it a little bit but not much. I think that mashing her whole paw against the trackpad was just too much surface. I would’ve tried it with a single digit but the test subject fled the scene. Hm. You’d think that a DOCTOR CAT would be more interested in science.

    So obvious for a feline experiment with computers then you have to use a mouse 😉

    Anyway she can use it fine as you should see all the spam i get sent from her. Filth, i tell you…

    I had good results with the whole paw, including double clicking. She seemed to like the space bar more though.
