“What do programmers and cats have in common?” (joke)

A programmer riddle is:
   
Q: What do programmers and cats have in common?
A: When either one is unusually excited, an appropriate question is: ‘Did you find a bug?’”

 
The joke has been cited in print since at least 2009. Authorship is unknown.

How programmers and cats are alike?
They both can sit in the same position for long time and get excited when they find a bug
