This cat just stood on what turns out to be a poorly placed power button on top of my PC, turning the machine off... and deleting a whole bunch of interview quotes I'd spent the last two hours transcribing in the process.

@dannyjpalmer If your threat model doesn't include cats, it should.

My kitty has discovered countless "features" and bugs in my laptop's handling of unexpected inputs, some of which I haven't yet been able to reproduce.

I wish I could get her a job doing QA.
