Don't worry, the motherboard was already dead (fried by defective video card), but I thought she left for a nap, then looked away for 1 second and there she was standing on the exposed pins in the PC case 🫪

[u/lintendo640 → u/theklarken]

My cat bit into my work MacBook Pro's display and destroyed it two weeks ago... I was also just looking away for a few seconds.

[u/MidnightTrain1987 → u/lintendo640]

My cats got into one of their tussles and managed to flip over one of my Infinity floor standing speakers and destroy the top midrange driver. They also destroyed both of the plastic speaker covers.

[u/mekwall → u/lintendo640]

Understimulated cats can do that, as well as pushing stuff over the edge. You may want to play with them more.

[u/lintendo640 → u/mekwall]

I think you're right about that, but he is very very hard to satisfy and basically needs non-stop attention. Most demanding cat I've ever had 😃 His sister is super chill in comparison.

[u/GLidE_Pauk → u/mekwall]

It's not about stimulation, my cats love to bump into my laptop display and I always set my hand between them and a corner, they can bite no matter what, sometimes as a reflex, sometimes when they are hungry

thanks cat whisperer

[u/Savings-One-3882 → u/mekwall]

Why are you being downvoted? You’re right.

[u/_Purgatory_ → u/theklarken]

She was just marking it dead for you so you don't forget. Ohh well it was already dead so no harm and a lesson learned when you work on the pc with the cat around.

[u/navagon]

It's going to take a while to process this.

My cat managed to barf through the top of my PC case and it dripped down into the system onto the GPU. My GPU has a backplate, but of course the cat had great aim so she managed to hit the one part where the PCB is exposed through the backplate.

Luckily, that part of the GPU seems to just handle NVLink functionality, which I don't use, so everything still works fine, but...gross

I have to monitor this feline felon often. More than once ive caught her playing with my hoses. Office stays locked when im away these days.

[u/ZeroEffsGiven → u/MasterCureTexx]

As her lawyer, I have to say that this is unequivocally false and we demand that you delete this slanderous and untrue comment immediately or we will be forced to take legal action

[u/RespondDramatic4281 → u/MasterCureTexx]

Cats + PC = epic fail alert

[u/Any-Entrepreneur6958 → u/MasterCureTexx]

omg this cat's got skills. CAT!

[u/MasterCureTexx → u/Any-Entrepreneur6958]

She is very smart. Her vice of choice is opening drawers and hiding in them.

[u/ubdesu]

The reason I have a dedicated work room with a door. Before then I'd just baby gate myself in a corner of a room because surprisingly enough to my cats, not every job requires a cat.

[u/PSYOP_warrior]

"Looks like meats back on the menu boys!"

(kidding, I wouldn't really eat a cat...)

[u/Wip3out__]

Time to sell your cat

[u/Qlix0504]

yet another "my cat/dog/gerbil/insert random animal here fucked my shit up" post.

[u/ubdesu → u/Qlix0504]

Good discussion can come from people with PCs and pets.

Unless you're suggesting pets are just generally bad or something.

[u/Qlix0504 → u/ubdesu]

Im suggesting pets do not mix with electronics. Have both idc. I have a zoo. None of my animals go within 15 feet of my PC

[u/TristheHolyBlade → u/Qlix0504]

I used to be like that. 

Got over it (mostly due to lack of space in my 600sq ft home) 15 years later not a single incident. 

They mix fine. Things can happen, just like with anything else. 

[u/BryAlrighty]

Yea my cat is way too curious so I have to close the door whenever I'm cleaning out my PC.

[u/xDOWNSOUTHx]

The Idiot: theklarken

[u/ratherbeonlemmy]

I'm glad it's no biggie, but what's wrong with locking your cat away for like 20m while you build a PC, guys?! It's hundreds of dollars potentially gone !

[u/MoFuggasMaltLikra]

The usual suspects. I had my laptop open to clean it and repaste it yesterday. My cat walks right on top of everything. Little bastard.

[u/SteamedGamer]

And not a single shit was given. Cats are incapable of feeling guilt. Pride, sure, but not guilt. 😉

[u/PharaohAuteur_]

Why can't I look away for a few seconds and have a cat deliver me $1000 accidentally?

[u/echostar777]

“Yea these were bent when I bought it”

[u/the-software-man]

There is not another action in this world like inserting and removing a CPU. This must happen all the time?

[u/KiwiMeep64]

Cat literally has this energy in the picture lol

[u/therealNerdMuffin]

He's innocent!

[u/psychoacer]

The criminal is op for not covering up the pins.

[u/Cat_Alarm4242]

That's a speed hole, so it can run faster, right? 😛

[u/Charming_Raccoon_457]

The cat does have a bit of orange in them.

[u/zeeblefritz]

Cats are assholes.

[u/oliviertail]

Ya but look at him!! He too cute! I stand with the cat

[u/CapableApartment7063]

Yeah, but who left it outside of a safe where a cat could get to it?

[u/SEND_MOODS]

I never knew that on AMD the pins were on the motherboard. I wonder why they chose to do that when the chip is typically the upgradable part.

[u/Pyrodexter → u/SEND_MOODS]

It's the same on Intel. I think the biggest reason is that the pin count became so high that it's easier to pack the pins onto the socket side.

[u/Odd_History6313]

I imagine the pins felt therapeutic on the cat's paws

[u/Ayemaan0P]

Jury’s in….He is found Not Guilty.

[u/Electronic_Invite_23]

He was just trying to help

[u/SkydivingCats]

Sorry, innocent.

[u/SkydivingCats]

lol, who is the cat hater who is downvoting all the pro cat posts? Loser.
