Tanada is Technically Savvy

For whatever reason, Tanada has figured out how to turn off the circuit
breaker for the computer, and then turn it back on again. This means that I
lose my internet access 2-6 times a day. I get it back, yell at the cat
(yeah, I know, she yells back at me), turn the mother computer back on, then
hope that I don't have to do whatever I was doing over again.

I think this qualifies as a b*st*rd cat trick.

Sounds like a BCT to me. A little like when Caliban was a kitten and
used to sleep on my desk, with one paw casually resting right beside the
Delete key...

I had a similar problem - attaching the outlet strips to the table legs
solved all but one part: they stepped on the button on top of the UPS the
runs the router and satellite tansceiver, shutting them down. That's not
as bad as losing power to the computers, but the switches for those UPSs
are on the front of the cases and have a guard. I solved the problem by
finding a cap off some bottle - I don't remember what - that was taller
and bigger around than the button, then taping it over the button. No
more problems from the cats - now it's just the lousy power reliability
and much worse satellite reliability when it rains.

She's probably a level above that. She did figure out how to turn off
the alarm click too.

Agreed. Smokey is having great fun opening the lid of my CD
player....you need to put a plastic cover over the circuit breaker to
cat proof it.

Alas, some of us manage to do ******* Cat Tricks on ourselves at work,
without benefit of cats. A few weeks ago, I lost about half an hour's
worth of typing at work after inadvertently pushing the switch on the
power strip with my foot. Usually, I save what I am doing every minute
or so. On this occasion, I was concentrating enough that I forgot to
save periodically. Naturally, Murphy's Law guaranteed that this would be
the time I would stretch my legs in exactly the wrong direction...

She's talented. Today, she enlisted Merlin to lay behind the lap top and
shove it off the desk while she smirked on top of the printer/scanner.
Merlin got a face full of squirted water an Tanada smirked even more. Then
she got behind the lap top to shove it off the desk and got water squirted
into her face.
