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.

No, I don't know why I hadn't clicked save in that time either.

Regularly backup your data, kids!

I have decorated the top of my PC with some whiteboard magnets.
They effectively screen the power button from the cats' butts and paws.

Also, the power button should only invoke the sleep function.
