I’m a keyboard cat

My Medium life moves around my keyboard and mouse. Medium prefers me to use my laptop, so I do. Writing, editing, reading, clapping, commenting, highlighting.

I’m a keyboard cat and I like my mouse. Clack, clack, clack. Click, click, click.

My cat paws get so so so sore after all Medium games with my mouse and keyboard. I want them to be healthy so I can run around and play at night.
