    There environmental tests for electronics.

    There are stress tests.

    There are torture tests.

    There are burn in tests.

    But first they need to survive the cat or dog test.

    Every day I'm more and more convinced that the venn diagram of engineers of some form and cat owners is a circle.

    My dog tried to help me once with her paw on the keyboard.

    After a couple of hours in her kennel, she never tried to help again.

    Did you steal your daughter’s cat, or is this a different feline? I recall you had a similar kitty on a leash several years ago that was always helping you out. Smiley Smile cat

    Now I have about a dozen, and I will have more because my father gather 1-2 every year, but there are way too many.
    Do they behave like this in your house too, do they stay indoors in the winter for the warm, and indoors in the summer in the cool?

    All of our special helpers have moved on to greener pastures.  At one time, I took a three-year break from full-time employment to do product development and consulting from home.  On some cooler days, I could end up with a pair of cats in my lap and dog at my feet for long stretches of time.  It was not ideal, but I could manage to occupy myself for long enough for the helper to get bored and move on.

    For a while, the same would be true here, with my grandkids, where they would both try to sit in my lap while I helped them find pictures of their favorite Pokemon, on the internet that we copied off into paint and the later printed for them to cut out and play with.
