I always knew my cat, Klopsik, was a pretty smart fella but the above instant messenger conversation he conducted with Dmitri proves the point. True that any cat could paw out a fairly random conversation on the keyboard, but notice how Klopsik selected precisely + and . characters. Moreover there is evidence of his sense of humour, when Dmitri questioned whether he was conversing with man or animal, Klopsik, probably raising his eyebrows, responding with mysterious ellipsis, keeping Dmitri in the dark.
The above conversation is copy/pasted, I swear there was no intervention in any way.

The Turing test has had its day, methinks – the Klopsik test is where it’s at! Something along the lines of “if you can’t tell you’re talking to a cat, you probably shouldn’t be using the internet.” ;o)

seems there is special software for cat owners whose felines are particularly active on the keyboard: http://www.bitboost.com/pawsense/
