I was cleaning the cathair and grit from my mouse innards when [livejournal.com profile] ramtops offered me her USB optical rodent, as the Apple mouse will do her fine on the very rare occasions she doesn't use her artpad.

So. Time to venture under my desk for cable surgery.

This is what I found lurking in the far corner... For reference, the pillar is ¾" in diameter. Sorry about the blurredness; the Pro90's autofocus doesn't in low light (and neither does its LCD viewfinder), so this is the best of a bunch of full manual shots, prefocussed in relative daylight, pointed through the cable-strewn gap behind my computer, and with the flash partially blocked by my fingers else the image was overexposed.

Sympathies. However having nine cats and then being disappointed when they bring stuff in is a bit like living in Wigan and complaining it's a tad moist :-)

I'm not really complaining, as such - I've found and dealt with far worse - it's more a bowl of petunias sort of reaction...

We're down to 7a cats these days, BTW; PoD buggered off last November and we haven't seen owt of him since. Hopefully, he just set up residence elsewhere, but I fear he's no more of this world.
