A four-hour system interruption in September at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri has been attributed to a cat jumping on a technician’s keyboard.

    I’m allergic to cats, so I try not to spend too much time around them. Even if I wasn’t allergic, having a cat getting into everything would drive me insane. If it jumped on my keyboard one time, that would pretty much be in. Banned from the office. I’d be a terrible pet owner.

      I love cats and would like to have one but I don’t because I also like to not have my things moved around or messed with at the whim of a bored animal.

      I wish there was a way to have cat friends rather than pets, so they could come visit and I could let them in for a bit if it’s a good time and then they go off and do their cat things elsewhere.

        Japan has cat cafes, you can have some coffee and hang out with a bunch of cats. They have things like this with a bunch of different animals actually.
