@Siberian Also both of them can feel your fear.
Fear triggers them just to do random shit.
@Siberian am I a cat? A printer? this post is taking me through some shit.
@Siberian does this mean I should be putting my printer out at night?
@Siberian Landlady does not allow pets. Considering buying a printer now.

@Siberian Accurate.

I tried to print this to put on my office wall then I remembered that I work at home in my bedroom, my cats would tear it down, and my printer is currently telling me the ink cartridge is empty when I know I just changed it.

@Siberian Printers don't spit up hairballs or try to sleep on your face. So that's something.

@Siberian

* care and feeding much more expensive than is at first apparent

* repetitive noises do not mean something's actually wrong

* proximity of cucumbers disrupts normal activity

@Siberian, my life right now. Please printer, please connect.
@Siberian @Poldermanie iets voor jou? Of ben je meer een hondenpersoon?
@Siberian @Poldermanie you realise that one of the first serious computer phototypesetters was called CAT? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAT_(phototypesetter)
CAT (phototypesetter) - Wikipedia

@Siberian I think my rescue cat is kinder than average inkjet printer. I like my laserjet printer.
@Siberian Always want one type of food and refuse the other brand or the generic one.
@Siberian This is so true 😹😹😹
@Siberian missing "can't live without them" :)

@Siberian whenever I see anything related to cats & printers I remember this video: https://youtu.be/CSK1D3bZhRs

Always puts a smile on my face

@Siberian

Forgot one:
Must only use specific name brand food or it'll reject you

@Siberian You could add "ruins important things" to the center of this Venn diagram. #CatsOfMastodon #cats #printers #Office #OfficeEquipment
@Siberian I gave up on printers when I bought one and it said paper jam before the first print. It had never ever taken in any paper. I just gave up. I don't have a car the idea of carrying it back was too annoying. Glad I have a printer at work now. Not that I print much
@Siberian they can both make cat photos
@Siberian You missed “Expensive and mostly useless.”

@Siberian my wife and children had cats; apparently this is funny

#doglovers

@Siberian Also warm, known to spray, and pointy in some unnerving places.
@Siberian don't forget the part about making random noises at 2am
@Siberian But only one of them is spying on you for Hewlet-Packard.
@Siberian So you've had Epsons, too, then?
@Siberian @dirtyoldtown, pertinent to your interests
@Siberian Right, I'm going to get a cat and name it Epson.
@Siberian clogging can cause noise problems 😹
@Siberian
Very amusing 🤣🤣🤣
@Siberian This is one of the most accurate things I have ever seen.
@Siberian No wonder a #cat that had lived with us was fascinated by our #InkJetPrinter!
@Siberian this explains why my WFH situation is so frustrating.
@Siberian Yep! That's a fair comparison.
@Siberian @Allyson
Consider legendary IT pros with cats and zero smart devices allowed in their home, keep a loaded pistol in case the printer makes any funny noises.
@Siberian And both play up most when they detect that you’re in a rush and there’s an urgent dispatch to get out!
@Siberian: Yet, only a cat is looking at this instructive diagram. Doesn't any printer care about being trained in the catty arts?
@Siberian Sounds like a description of my coffeemaker.

@Siberian the middle one should read "empty" instead of "full"* but otherwise I love it. Shared it with some cat-owning relatives.

* - or is that deliberate and you're pointing out that they want food even when they're already full?

@Siberian And now I wonder what the animal equivalent of a laser printer is. Those things are reliable.
