Let me be clear: It's a good thing to be a computer nerd. I'm a nerd, I love nerds. That said, every nerd needs an equally nerdy cat. What good is a computer without a cat getting in the way while you type? Cats and computers just plain go together. After all, they probably secretly know more about using your computer than you do-- they're just too lazy to prove it. Without further ado, 20 reasons cats and computers go together:
1. Older, bulky monitor? No. New, ergonomic cat bed.

2. Cats won't judge you for surfing the web in bed when you should be sleeping.

14. And wait a second, "One Laptop Per Child?" That's got to be a typo. They meant "One Laptop Per Kitten," right?

So, there you have it. Cats and computers: A perfect match. I believe this theory explains the lolcat phenomenon, the Internet's swift action to bring Kenny Glenn to justice [graphic content], and the general love affair of the Internet with everything related to cats. It's a symbiotic relationship. Or, maybe the Egyptians had it right, and cats are just little Gods that have figured out how to get humans to meet their every need.
