content: why instruments need to be robust or sturdy? because so they wont get runned or tip over by a cat! any living thing that cant be taught where should not go to, by simple instruction such as tapping head, hissing sound or got thrown down away and yet still love to go up exploring things doesnt deserve a "he" or "she", it should be "it". when the it is a male we should call it "hite" when its a female its a "shite". so off shite go to the attic with shite's friend the mice where shite belongs. havent come back yet begging to be brought down, shite seems to be happy up there on the higher place. my avatar surely better at receiving instructionsi guess shite is big enough already after 2 months adopted from sewerage/drainage line, shite should be thankful

content: In you best growly voice; GET DOWN followed by an accurately thrown soft projectile.They will still climb when your back is turned but persistence will pay off.When exiting and away from delicate TE a shot of water from a childs water gun or squirty bottle can help enforce you distaste for their behavior.

A shot from a 120 psi air duster might help get the message across plus not be so risky to your fine EE gear.

content: Sounds like a cat's not the right companion for you. Maybe you should find a more suitable home for the cat and get yourself a different pet that's more your speed. Perhaps a pet rock would suit?

content: No infact shite becoming what shite is meant should do, hunt mice and fight neighbooring cats that only came to pee and poo. Maybe the lab is not big enough for shite curiosity anymore, time to stay outside? But i doubt shite can fight the bigger tougher guy from next door. the lab has been hiter home, toilet, dining room everything incl play ground for the past 2 months, since swmbo didnt approve living room nor taking care or shite's shit. what a luxurious life, even got hiter food ready on silver plater in the store and poo soil changed every week... can you imagine work in a stinking smell? Nevermind i'm resilient type (but sadly not some my stuffs) and got the air circulated thanks to my newly bought portable air conditioner. maybe its time for military training or more mentally demanding pressure on the real world? (sleep outside)... i aint pet lover, everything must have a purpose, other wise they deserve in the most deserted place in the universe. You can say my soldering iron is my more faithful pet.

content: Yeah, ajb is right, you should not have a cat, it’s the wrong pet for you. You should find it a new home with people who are more patient and whose circumstances allow.

content: Cats are nosy. Good to have a way to keep them out where you don't want. I close all doors to rooms when I leave the house. When I'm home my cat just wants to be near me, she does not tend to be much trouble. I make sure to turn off anything high voltage related if I turn around for even 2 minutes though. She likes to stick her nose in anything that is moved/changed. So like if I am working on something on my bench she'll go check it out.
