Well I'm impressed

[the wharf rat]

My elderly cat has taken to sleeping on top of the cable box
because it's warm. Of course she coughed up a hairball into it so I
unplugged it and took it apart to clean up.

There was about 2 inches of cat hair and dead flies and crap
covering the entire inside of the thing, and it seems that this wasn't
the first time poor kitty had had an accident. But you know? It always
worked fine, and a few minutes with the canned air and alcohol pads
and it just booted right up (it's fun to watch the diagnostics on those)
and I went back to Judge Judy.

I wish laptops were that rugged. I'm going to buy used ones on
ebay and market them as pet beds.

you should use that stuff on your cat too.
