And I think this highlights the real reason why most so called “cat lovers” are attracted to cats;
They are a pet that you do not have to invest very much effort into.
A cat is a pet for people who can’t really be bothered caring for a pet.
Clearly a statement of a human, who never really had a cat for a pet.
Cats may not need to take them out for walks, but surely you need to take care of them
-each day you must clean their bio
-take care of water, food
-take care of their daily exercise(most fun part of the day including a small ball for cats) [If you don't they will remind you in 3 am in the morning next day]
-give your pet a fare share of attention (petting, holding etc)If you don't they will be angry at you, and you don't want to have an angry cat for a pet, you just don't.
And kids don't forget, even if you do some activity not involving your cat (for example reading), if you are caught, it will become a cat involving activity

That's one way of doing it, alternatively you could just be like our neighbours who have three that all just roam the streets 24/7 and spend 99% of their time in our front garden.

Jeez, this guy really doesn't like cats - or dogs for that matter.
I don't care if he is a "comedian" - if this article is an attempt at humour, he really fails, and if it's not, then he is seriously disturbed.
In my opinion, a person who is so cold that he can't care for a living creature, no matter if it's a cat or a dog or something else, is not a good person. He's off my christmas card list for sure! 
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant

Hi All,
I know Windows has short cut keys and I do use them on desktop machines, but on Embedded systems (PC104 etc.) at times you just haven't got a spare port, spare mouse to use, ability to reboot with out loosing the state. I was wondering if there is a keyboard mouse emulation mode ala the Amiga (as I remember it left A (amiga)key and the arrow keys) gave you control of the mouse pointer (not very accurate but...) is there a similar thing in Windows?, just wondering that's all. 
|

|

Oh good, I though my Google-Fu was having a day off!, as I said I don't really need it, it's one of those things you wish you had when something goes wrong. On the Amiga it only tended to used (by me at any rate) when you had two joysticks plugged in and there was a problem at boot up (bleedin' hard disc)

Turn on Mouse keys feature?
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, that might do it I will have a look thanks, had a look it's based on the number pad, which is fine if you have a number pad/or a keyboard which emulates a key pad...
|
|
|
|
|
|
I tried that, I'm sure I did! Oh heck it's Wednesday, never could get the hang of Thursdays is spreading backward... 
|
|
|
|
|
Hmmm, it still relies on turning on a feature which is a fuss if there is no mouse available, the Amiga did it by default.
|
|
|
|
|
I used to drool when I saw an Amiga.
Haven't seen one for years now.
Sorry but I have no answers for you.
...other than use keyboards that have integrated mouse.

Got two of them, good machines for the time (still reasonable today  ). I was thinking more of the emergency "why did that software update you did cripple our bottling machine" situation (has happened many moons ago, too long to detail here, not my fault!).

To move the mouse ?
// someX, someY in screen Co-ordinates
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = new Point(someX, someY);
Also check out "Windows Input Simulator (C# SendInput Wrapper - Simulate Keyboard and Mouse)" [^].

That is the code way, I was hoping for an arcane hidden (just plain, nothing but Windows and a few ropey apps running) way to do it with having to go into anything else to run it! Thanks though!

Do you mean just using the Win API: lots of on-line examples of that.
