I heard of someone using a laser pointer, some cheap speakers and a few 1cm mirror tiles to build a "random laser dot" thing. Every time the thing got turned on, the cats would (allegedly) start pawing at the laser dot... All this talk of destructive cats kinda makes me glad I keep chinchillas. The fur is a bit of a pain to get off clothing (but Sellotape does a decent job) but they don't generally chew plastic wiring. They tend to go after wood (especially pine) a lot more. Oh, and they're a real pain to recapture once they've escaped - they move damn quick... -- Phil. | Kitsune: Acorn RiscPC SA202 64M+6G ViewFinder philpem@dsl.pipex.com | Cheetah: Athlon64 3200+ A8VDeluxeV2 512M+100G http://www.philpem.me.uk/ | Tiger: Toshiba SatPro4600 Celeron700 256M+40G -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
