    wouldn't that bring the belly hair in contact with the carpet and create more static?

      I sometimes blame everything that goes wrong in my life on one of my four cats. I am convinced that this one particular cat actually wants me dead, so blaming her for everything is not an issue. Wife thinks I didn't do the dishes, but in fact, the cat dirtied them during the night and put them back into the sink. Come on, it's a no-brainer. :rolleyes:

      Cats are evil SOB's. Even the daughters.

        Often when I mess up on my PC I 'blame it on the cat'. Just had my third BSOD in about a year. I initially blamed them on Skype, but Skype was not running during the last one. In each case however my cat, who sometimes has a habit of pacing back and forth on my desk and rubbing up against the PC, was active. It suddenly dawned on me that static electricity was the problem! (The indoor air can be quite dry here in winter). I grounded both my PC and the cat...we'll see what happens now.

        My cat has no interest in scent marking the computer case or treading on the keyboard whilst I'm out of the room. What he does, though, is have an overwhelming need to chew wires. USB, optical, audio, you name it. Anything that will annoy me intensely and that doesn't carry enough current to kill.

          If you have ever held a cat with two outstretched arms just behind their front legs and their rear legs you will see how practical and effective two posts coming out of the wall would make a cat storage rack. - And if you act now, you can get not one, but two Ronco cat racks (or puss posts if you wish)for the purring low price of $19.95. :Ron

              I always make sure the cat's properly grounded, connected by several feet of heavy chain. River bottoms make the best grounds, but a deep lake will do in a pinch.

                  Sounds like another case for defenestration.

                    On the other hand, they're not that bright (which is just as well!)

                      Coat the wires with Tabasco sauce, he'll learn.
