I got a new cordless mouse and keyboard on the weekend and my cats
have decided to sabotage it. Maybe they think that without it I'll
spend more time petting them?

This morning I came to use my computer and discovered that my keyboard
didn't work! The mouse was fine, but the keyboard was as dead as the
dodo. I pressed every key in case it had an 'off' button that I didn't
know about. Nope. I changed the batteries twice in case they were
flat. Nope. I turned it over and read the connection instructions and
pressed the 'connect' button about a dozen times. Still dead. I was
mystified... the mouse worked fine, so there was nothing wrong with
the wireless received - so was the keyboard defective?! Then I looked
at the back of the computer and discovered that the keyboard plug was
hanging off - with toothmarks on it. One of the cats (I have a strong
suspicion who) sat there last night chewing at the cable and they
pulled the plug right out of the machine... as soon as I reinserted it
and restarted the keyboard worked fine... so now the cats are having
another go. Scout rolled on top of the keyboard and put the computer
to sleep, and she's somehow told the mouse to act as a highlighter
instead of just clicking... so now I can't read my messages!
