We have a cat, has been like 4 months since we adopted her. Since then she has only commited just one crime, that was chew the internet's optic fiber.

Yesterday, I was playing Dragon Quest using Punes. I started a new log, from level 1 to level 11. If you have played DQ before you now that the only way to advance in that game is grinding. The thing is that I set my PC in other shelf to have more space to be able to add some speakers in the desk, now, our cat is able to get over the PC, this was the case latenight. By accident, she step on in the on/off button, and pum. I lost everything. I was saving my game by going to the king every level I upload, but for some odd reason, Punes save the game into sram once you close the emulator. When I turned on the PC again... I just got the 1000 kitties stare.

My dog chewed a plastic bag containing the special proprietary cables for a computer display/input switch. I think she just wanted the bag and the cables were collateral damage, because she's never chewed cables on their own before or since.

They refuse to sell the cables separately so it made the device itself useless unless I buy another one for like $100. Ended up not bothering and giving up on having a peripheral switch because I refuse to give them that much money again just because a $10 set of cables broke and reward their shitty business practices. I just manually switch the actual display and USB cables when I want to control another computer.

Also blew my mind just how strong a bite force even a small breed dog has. She totally crushed the metal casing surrounding the plug and shattered the plastic molding in the less than one minute she had it. I can't even do that with my teeth (then again I've never tried).
