If a cat can cause damage you are doing it wrong
This is why my scratching posts are all carbon steel
No problems with the cat but what about my pet rm?
Not without help from your pet sudo.
You can blame a cat or dog approximately once per 5 years of employment. Nice save!
My dog ate my spreadsheet
Randy you’ll never believe it. The cat did it again, yep this time it’s the IRS servers. Whole thing is down and can’t be recovered. Don’t worry I have told the cat on no uncertain terms that 3 or 4 more times and I’m going to start getting pretty angry about this.
White hat kitty is in ur serverz
Erasing ur PIIz
Why you should write rm /path/to/dir -rf ; and not rm -rf /[cat jumps here]
Some linux greybeard wisdom right there
Other than cat jumping, you can just accidentally hit enter all by yourself, it's a well-developed reflex for all of us.
Huh. Cats on keyboards usually create superheroes.
I donmt like where this is going. Legit, animals are considered peoperty and this cat has United States of America v. Random cat who had and maintains no idea what the fuck's going on written all over it.
Sad.
Edit: on second thought, let me read around some more, I had this "odd" impulse that this guy might be worse for the cat so I for one welcome our...ya I'm gettin' way too tired and informed of this stuff
They shouldn’t allow pets in the office anyway
I'll resist asking why not, but who says they weren't working from home?
They shouldn’t let cats work from home.
We've tried but they insist on using the keyboard anyway.
They laid on it and rubbed scent markers all over it. It's theirs now. 🤷
