    While the idiom that something impossible is “like herding cats” is a popular saying now, the phrase has relatively recent origins – one story has it that IT expert Dave Platt popularized the phrase when he said that “managing senior programmers is like herding cats”. What we can say is that the phrase is pretty suitable for what it describes. And while cats are independent, solitary, and easily distracted, many humans also share this characteristic.

    So far I’ve managed to herd one cat onto my bed :)

    Good :). The heffalump that is Peggy cat has occasionally woken me up to get under the duvet by walking over my head or actually head butting me! Despite our difference in size I find it very difficult to shift her once she’s climbed on top of the bed. The lift will help :)
