DANGER! DANGER! DANGER!
Did you know that cat hair carries it's own electrical charge? Keep the cat away from the open case! I blow/vacuum my cases out weekly just to make sure that no hair accidently lands on the mobo.
"SHOCKING CATS!
"If cats lick themselves, fair weather." True.
Just as George Freier quotes in his book, Weather Proverbs, “One swallow does not a summer make,” one proverb will not the weather make. One must apply many proverbs to arrive at a conclusion about short-range weather predicting. However, there is a physical law which makes the above proverb true — even though cats often lick themselves in foul weather:
During fair weather, when the relative humidity is low, electrostatic charges (static electricity) can build up on a cat as it touches other objects. Cat hair loses electrons easily, so cats become positively charged.
When a cat licks itself, the moisture makes its fur more conductive so the charge can “leak” off the cat. In fair weather during high pressure, dry air sinks from above. Relative humidity is low and cat hair becomes a better insulator. Many cats don’t like to be petted during cold winter weather when the humidity is low because sufficient charge builds up to cause small sparks which irritate them (and the petter.)
In fact, the original definition of negative charge was that charge transferred to an ebonite rod from cats’ fur.
