    Font - Jeremy Gibbs @jeremy_gibbs I spent all night convinced that my MacBook Air had a hardware failure-random text entry, clicking led to weird behavior, etc. I read console logs, booted into safe mode, performed hardware diagnostics. It turns out my cat was sitting on the wireless keyboard in the other room. 7:25 AM. Jan 24, 2023 · 718.2K Views ... 2,459 Retweets 206 Quote Tweets 19.1K Likes

    We said it once, and we will say it again: if something randomly stops working in your house, you should check what the cat is doing. True, most times, it's probably not their fault, but it's always possibly their fault, so it's better to make sure. You can just assume that once in a while - the timeline is different per cat - your cat will choose to do something to make you insane.

    Oh, it has to have been. All cats know, eventually, that the keyboard is not a proper sitting place. We make sure to let them know, repeatedly, about that rule, so if they choose to break it, then that's exactly what it is - they choose to break it. It's a choice.

    Font - Crystal Harrison @AprilWheeler5 ... Replying to @jeremy_gibbs I shouldn't laugh but my cat sits on my lap when I am on twitter and he jumps on the keyboard and then all hell breaks loose! One time he ended up sending a DM 24 times! I had just hit send. What your cat did! I can see him laughing, proud of himself for the angst he was causing! 7:13 AM Jan 26, 2023 201 Views

    Font - Rammi @Rammi : Replying to @jeremy_gibbs and @EastCoastKnits Once when I was still in the AppleCare warranty, my MacBook stopped charging. When I went to the Apple Store, the staff member took one look and said, "...do you have cats?" There were bite marks on the cable. 10:57 AM • Jan 26, 2023 from Poplar, London - 214 Views

Replying to @TraillCarolyn and @MaldenSaboteur One of our (rescue) cats is fond of watching the world from a windowsill. On several occasions, my wife and I heard a robotic voice speaking in an otherwise empty house; just a bit spooky. My daughter worked out it was triggered by said cat taking shortcuts across computer keys. 11:23 AM . Dec 1, 2022
