Hmm.. Cats have (minor) problems :
They are a darn good sourcve of static electricity. In fact one book I
have on making van de Greaf generators, etc, describes the 'cat-o-static',
namely a way of charging a leyden jar by stroking a cat. I suspect a cat
on its own is quite capable of zapping MOS decices.
They like sleeping on whatever service manual you want to look at. One of
my previous cats was atreacted to HP manuals only, for some odd reason.
That said, I love cats, and not jsut because they perform the useful
function of killing vermin. I can't explain it, but stroking a cat is one
of the most calming things I know. If I have had major techncial problems,
a few minutes with a cat and thigs are not anything like as bad. Muon, the
cat who currently lives with me, is a real character. I just have to keep
hm away from delicate PCBs, and wait for him to release the manual I want
to look at. But it's worth it.
