So as of today, all cats are banned from coming into the same room as my computer.
For the past couple of weeks, every time I'd come down here to use my computer, I'd hear this rustling, kind of gnawing sound. If I made any bit of noise, the sound would quit. Had me 1/2 way convinced there was a giant rat somewhere loose in the house (and I despise rodents, ugh!). DH kept reassuring me that with 3 cats in the house, there couldn't be a rat or mouse inside.
I heard the noise again this morning, and just as I shoved my chair back, my stockinged feet bumped against something furry and squishy.
Looking under my desk, there lay Pip calmly chewing on my computer cords. Blasted cat! She could have killed me, I almost had a heart attack. I can see the death certificate now, "death by cat".
