    I let my cat sleep on my MBP from time to time. There is no danger of them scratching, the cat is just swiping at the screen, their claws aren't out. Especially if you keep them trimmed.

    cats are very hygienic animals. I doubt one would urinate in a Macbook, humm unless it was raised in Redmond or something.

    My cat likes to walk over my laptop keyboard when I am typing. It also brushes against the screen with its head. Must be jealous of all the attention the laptop is getting.

    Haha, actually, I thought that was pretty funny. I like cats, but I'm allergic to them :rolleyes: If only they didn't shed.
