I was taught Computer Science by Jennifer Haselgrove in Glasgow. Her first lecture concerned talking to your cat, and as I remember telling your cat the steps needed to make a cup of tea. So you are wrong - it is cats, not teddy bears. Something surprising about Dr Haselgrove - she lectured in Comp Sci bit had no degree in the subject. Why? Well when she was an undergrad no such field of study existed.
