About a dozen years back, I posted with the subject line “I Can Haz Broken Glass”, because my then cat Smokey had rolled off the shelf, landed just so on the computer and knocked it end over end, cracking two slats in a favorite chair and breaking the computer screen.
Last night, my current cat Hamish--who is about twice Smokey's size--accomplished much the same thing. This time the computer fell at a different angle, so nothing broke except the plug for the USB hub. (It was not the only thing to come unplugged, but the only plug that physically broke.) The most time-consuming part, aside from dashing to Amazon to order a new hub (dirt cheap!), was looking for my reading glasses. Apparently frightened by the commotion, they had hidden under the computer table.
I was mildly impressed by the fact that when I plugged the computer in again and turned it on--fearing the worst--everything came right back up, and the YouTube video I had been watching resumed exactly where it left off.
Nice going, Hamish.
