How do you get the cat/dog/other pet off it so you can change channels?

I have that problem with a normal remote.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.
|
|
|
|
|
On top of that, how do you use it as a normal pillow/cushion without accidentally changing the channel when you move to get comfortable?

Many years ago I bought a universal remote, guaranteed to work with any TV.
Of course it wouldn't work with my TV so I phoned them up.
Can you just put your remote on the phone for me says they.
You what says I.
There was a small hole in the back of the remote, the phone squawked at it for a few seconds, the remote worked with my TV from then on.

You know what happens when you assume...
For my sins I always have to set the elephanting things up for my parents (an experience sufficiently awful that it'd make me cut the cord if I hadn't entirely swore off FollyWeird years ago). Replacement 1 and Replacement 2 used different codes. Replacement 2 and Replacement 3 used different codes. Logitech's USB programmable remote just swapped one form of hell for a different one.  
I now recommend throwing your TV out and buying a new one if you accidentally step on and smash the original clicker. Spending $xxx to $xxxx is the least painful option. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Spot on - you are up Monday!
A Mutton is a "printers mark" (actually a width of space when movable type was used) also known as an "Em". Half that space (half an Em or half a Mutton) was known as an "En" (also called a "Nut").

Trust ewe to be obsessed by things that sound like they are sheep inspired.

I thought it must have been a pet name for some old ewe out back. 
That part had me stumped...

I know what an em is (and en), but never knew of them as muttons. You learn something new every day.

Maybe not every day, but every day you do is a good one!

That's a bit of a coincidence my "Brother" was a printer too.

Moveable type? Offset Litho? Hot metal? Or the electronic era?

So she's still dealing with bad types.
