A client's cat tried to help me fix his PC and it went about as well as you'd think

I was on a house call in the suburbs, swapping out a power supply on a desktop under this guy's desk. His massive orange cat, named Butters, decided the new bundle of cables was the best toy ever. He pounced, got a claw stuck in a SATA data line, and yanked the whole drive loose mid-transfer. The client just looked at me and said, 'He's usually more of a supervisor.' Had to start the data migration all over again while Butters napped on the keyboard. Anyone else have a pet 'assistant' completely wreck a repair?

Oh man, that's perfect. I had a calico that was obsessed with the warm exhaust from a laptop fan. She'd plop right down on the keyboard during the worst possible times, like hitting a dozen random keys while I was in the BIOS. You ever try to explain to a cat that they just turned off your boot drive?

My buddy's husky once chewed through a brand new HDMI cable while I was setting up his home theater. The dog looked so proud of himself.
