This is a very important question

It's been on my mind for a while, I am almost certain that the venn diagram of engineers/makers/technical folk and being a cat owner is near a circle.

I used to have a bunny.

Bunnies are great, but they aren’t good house pets. We had one, too, and she did great in California, but she got eaten in the backyard after we moved to Oregon. Probably by a coyote. We lose a lot of cats, bunnies, and squirrels to coyotes. I thought that a 6 ft fence would deter a coyote until a friend showed me a picture of one in his yard.

Mine did do that when he was younger, so I got a bunch of pneumatic tubing, sliced it open, and put it on all the wires. He got discouraged or something, and stopped a year or two in though.

They'd probably make good electricians, one time he did chew cleanly through a live 230V wire somehow.

We looked after a school guinea pig one summer. I have never repaired so many power cords in my life. I have no idea how he didn't die with all the cords he chewed.

You had a very good bunny. My bunny chewed up stuff similar to the damage a puppy does. He even chewed cabinet doors when I kept him in the laundry room.

He was an indoor bunny, the second picture is at a relative's house, where we took him sometimes, to enjoy nature a bit. I ended up with a bunny over a cat or dog, as they are relatively calm, and don't need constant attention or destroy the house while away. Also I'm *very* allergic to cats, which doesn't help.
