My daughter's cat also uses claws, when she thinks I should be paying attention to her
(which is usually whenever we're in the same room). She just swats at me with an

That seems to be a common practice for IT people
;) (to have a cat or
two),
I always have had (and still have 1 (and maybe
soon 2) cats.
Wasn't there something on BBC News about cat owners being statistically
more likely to have a university degree than dog owners?

She first starts to moving around trying to find
the 'best' sitting
spot,
and when done the nails come out..... Ohhh the
pain, the pain (as Dr.

Yeah, getting clawed by Ze Cat is one of the downsides. My aunt had a
really nice black (or really dark brown, not sure) long-haired cat
called "Momom" (where she got that name I don't know). It'd wait for
you
to sit down, then meow at you until you lifted it onto the seat beside
you. Then it shuffled up and laid half-on your leg and started purring.
If you tried to move it off you or stand up? You got the claws...
