Degauss and Cats

Holy moly, I have a cat that likes to sleep on top of an old monochrome monitor that I have on an old AT box. The monitor was getting blurry, so I hit the degauss button, and the cat literally bounced off of the ceiling!

Cats are much more sesitive to high frequency noises and electro static discharges then we are. The degauss button puts out some serious charge. Had a guy at wourk that liked to hit his all the time. Every time he did everyone's monitors for two cubicles in every direction would go all screwy for a second.

That is knowledge I can put to good use at a later date.

You think cats hate it, Try it on a shark! It will freak them out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Note, don't try this at home, or at least keep the monitor out of the water. Close to the glass or even in the same room is best.
