My cat sits with me when I am programming, staring at the screen, looking at the details as I type.

She has gotten so smart that every time I make a syntax error, and the code becomes highlighted, she says “meow”. If I don’t pay attention to the screen, I have a vocal cue of the bug. I give her a treat when she alerts me of each bug.

My cat Moonpie has a brother, called Popcorn. But his IQ is 20 points lower than hers. He is always eating or sleeping and his only trick is waking me up in the morning when hungry. I guess that is good too, because it helps me discipline myself.

Moonpie in the world of cats is no less smart than Linus Torvalds.
