Cats vs. The Touch Lamp

Are you all familiar with touch lamps? The type of lamp where you just touch the base to turn it on? I bought a tall tortiere lamp for my new computer room (new as in, just bought/built the condo and moved it). The lamp turned out to be a touch lamp with 3 settings plus off. It never occured to me that this lamp would be of interest to my cats.

One evening, shortly after I got the lamp and got it set up, I was working on my computer and had that lamp on at full brightness. Suddenly, the room went dark, and then got dim right away. So I'm thinking, "Ok, a cat must have walked past the lamp and bumped it." It had happened once or twice before. The lamp was behind me, and I was typing, so I didn't turn around and look.

I continued working, when the lamp got brighter...and brighter....then went off. It was a slow progression. Then it repeated the cycle slowly again....dim, brighter, brightest, off. I was starting to get annoyed, when suddenly the light started changing really fast! Dim, brighter, brightest, off...dim, brighter, brightest, off! I whirled around, and there, standing on the armchair next to the lamp, was Bad Annie....with her front paw, she was repeatedly tapping the lamp, and staring at the ceiling as the light flashed! She had her whiskers forward and was stalking the flashing light!

I was so impressed with her ability to figure out how to make the light flash, that I couldn't chase her from the room! It was to darn funny, too!
