I call this a shaggy-cat story.
I gave my cat a bath. After a quick dousing, I reached for the towel. She took off. And ran right behind my PC. You know, the most dangerous and destructive place a wet cat can hide?
She took sanctuary in a jungle of a million, mostly mysterious, cables with connectors; two power strips; a couple of USB hubs, and three external disks, all powered up for detonation.
I screamed, grabbed and extracted her contortionist body while untangling her claws from the wires because an unwilling cat has to destroy everything it can. I feared she might get electrocuted. Then I feared both of us might die.
But even worse: she might have killed my PC.
Fortunately, no sparks or explosions happened. I don't know how. And a bigger miracle: everything still works.
Better yet, we made up and are living happily ever after. Until she does something else.
