Hello Daryl,

Ahhh... My first computer was a Tandy TRS-80. :-)

My cat would prefer to sharpen her claws on my leg. The problem I have had
since being a kid has been a lack of feeling in my arms and legs to  cuts,
pokes, scratches, or temperature. I would really notice it until I would see
the claw/scratch marks. The cat also liked to chew on toes. :-) Eat... No...
Chew... Yes.

We have two cats now. That way they can play and chew on each other. :-) When
they are chasing each other they sound like they each have elephant  feet. A
couple times I would (Totally Unintentional) close a hall or  bedroom door.
Then when I would hear them running. I would sometimes hear  a loud THUD as one
 would find an unexpected closed door. :-)
