In the grand tradition of cat-caused computer sabotage, Muffin has found the router. It’s been there for years but just recently she decided to commandeer the device. Worse, she’s decided to regulate the internet usage within the apartment.
She loves the router because its a warm device. Its constantly warm and producing a little heat device for her to be around. She can’t lay on top of it because she’s twice as big as the router, so she is all over the place when sapping its warmth.
Recently she has managed to kick the power cable while adjusting her position. I was on the internet at the time and promptly became offline and I wasn’t sure what it was. I then figured out it was Muffin since the router was unlit. She has done this before with other devices as well.
There’s a larger conspiracy here. It may be played off as a “whoops” moment but really… this evidence to a longer string of tech-related incidences, including:
- Sitting on my computer power cable or unplugging it in-general.
- Laying on my keyboard while I type.
- Attacking my cursor on the screen, blocking the view of my work.
- Knocking over my laptop on multiple occasions.
- Kicking out the HDMI cable to my Xbox while playing a game.
- Unplugging my phone during the middle of the night as to prevent me from getting through the work day on a fully charged battery.
- Absorbing the remote control into her stomach fur as to hide the television control.
Muffin is on the warpath. I’m next to certain my mouse and keyboard will be missing tomorrow.
