My cat drools on my keyboard

As I sit and read OS

Were it just a tad, I shan't complain,

 But he does it to excess.

 He lies in wait for me to find

A post I get involved in;

Then leaps upon me, open-mouthed

Saliva dangling from within.

My cat drools on my keyboard;

I don't know why this is.

 Do some posts overexcite him?

Or is this a private joke of his?

 Is it commentary on the content

Or disgusting punishment?

If I chose posts more to his liking

Would he cease the wet torment?

My cat drools on my keyboard

Is this normal for a feline?

Is he ill, or just a critic?

Incidental, or by design?

Can he really have an opinion?

I think he may have a system.

For instance, the posts of our favorite doctor

Tend to receive a deluge of sputum

While the posts of funny Lisa Kern

Lead to purrs and much thigh-kneading;

And Sheldon the Wonderhorse and goofy Tink

Also make for nice dry reading.

My cat drools on my keyboard

Sometimes he even types

This of course is a ready-made excuse

For many comment gripes.

But if his typing skills were better

And the OS Search function less hated

Would I find "pussy" posts in my History

And "doggie" posts berated?

When my cat drools on my keyboard

It leads to indecision;

Shall I sigh in meek acceptance

Or shall I seize his scruff and fling him?

Neither being attractive options, 

Here's my temporary measure:

Rather than censoring my OS reads

Or suffering the cat's displeasure

I shall encourage him to bestow love (and drool)

Upon others in the household

Thus, the issue of drooling on my keyboard

Should be--for the most part--controlled.

 And to his favorite writers

Who may fear a ratings drop

If you're interested in retaining his favor,

You can buy him his own laptop.
