The Mouse Cursor Is Alive and I Must Destroy It

 It all began on a humid July afternoon.

Ania opened her laptop to “work.”
The soft clicking began. The screen lit up.

And then—I saw it.
A tiny arrow.
Darting. Wiggling. Taunting me.

The mouse cursor.

A silent enemy with no legs, no scent, and too much nerve.


🎯 Target Acquired

It moved.
I leapt.

Missed.
But the intent was clear: war.

It zipped left. I chased.
It zipped right. I face-planted into the screen.
Ania screamed:

“GRYZKA, NOT AGAIN!”


💻 Technology Status Report:

  • Caps Lock: permanently on

  • Chrome bookmarks: deleted

  • Spreadsheet: 89 tabs opened, all titled “wwwwwwwwwwwwwww”

  • Touchpad: licked for strategic reasons


🛡️ My Strategy:

  1. Wait for the cursor to appear

  2. Watch it with narrowed eyes and simmering suspicion

  3. Strike when Ania least expects it
    (usually mid-email or video call)

  4. Sit directly on the keyboard

  5. Pretend to sleep while secretly operating her F12 key


🎤 Ania’s Response:

  • “Gryzka, WHY?!”

  • “Stop editing my manuscript!”

  • “You changed my language settings to Finnish!!”

  • “Oh my God, you sent that to my client.”


🐭 Final Thoughts:

You may not see it.
You may not hear it.
But the cursor is always there.
Waiting.
Wiggling.

And I will be ready.
For I am not just a cat.
I am a warrior of the digital age.
I have paws of justice and a very round face.

Defiantly,
– Gryzka 🐾
Mouse hunter. Keyboard stomper. IT nightmare.

THE MIDNIGHT MOTH INCIDENT

 It was a quiet night. Too quiet. The humans were asleep. Spurka was drooling on the pillow. Kitka was twitching in her sleep, probably chas...
