Some cats aren't as clever as the one pictured here. Most of our feline friends choose to interact with computers by simply walking on the keyboards leading to a 0.0000001% chance that they'll type deltree /y c:\(or sudo rm -rf /) and you'll be saying "Wow, I'm stupid and don't have a computer anymore!"

i've heard they also like crawling up into open computer cases and falling asleep.
Thanks for the rm -rf shoutout. I feel compelled to point out, however, that in Unix the cat would have to log in as root and then do rm -rf plus a target directory in / to destroy the OS. (I guess if you're stupid enough to leave a root prompt unattended in sight of a mischievous cat, you don't deserve a computer.)
But yeah, best thing ever. A, how did you find it, and B, I'm going to buy like a million copies of it. Yelling like a banshee and playing toss-the-kitty hasn't done enough to keep cats away from my computers, so I'm going to try this instead. Thank you, capitalism!
Whoops, rereading the original post, I see that # rm -rf / will certainly do the trick. My bad.
Found in this thread.
Yeah just to make sure the Unix cat kills the comp I'll throw a sudo in there too.
spring onions are a cat's favorite food btw. it won't make their blood explode.
