TheMagDude

Hello forum,

 

We have just gotten a cat, his name is Polo, he is cute.

But i have concerns, will he chew on my wires, scract anything

I dont think all cats are the same but, any general cat tips for a pcgamer,

 

We have had a dog for a couple of years now, and she dosnt do anything to my cable so she is of  no concerns!

Many thanks!

Some cats like to sit on top of pc cases.

I love how this is a tech forum but somehow you get a lot of questions about cats here... :/

Yeah, cats aren't as EAT THIS EAT THAT as dogs are. Just put a fence around your computer stuff (cardboard works too) and get rid of it once the cat decides it isn't worth it's time.

Also, if you have top IO, make sure you cover that with cardboard too because cats will sit all over that sh*t.

Best bet is to have lots of items for the cat itself and infuse it with catnip. LOL. seriously. But All cats need to scratch. It helps sharpen their claws as well as make room for new growth. But as long as he has something that he can scratch he should leave most stuff alone.

If your case is configured for top-exhaust the cat will treat your rig as a $1.5K cat warmer.

Protip for owning a cat and being a PC gamer. Do NOT have a case with a top mounted power/reset button. That is literally the worst place to put one.

My cat never touches the wires... he is also 13 years old so I guess he is not that mindless but if you're worried you should just put up a barricade if he does show interest in them.

 

Edit: Buy something it can scratch in. I got a carpet type thing in a rough material that it can scratch in, that way you avoid that it scratches in other stuff.

 

Edit2: Endu en Dansker!
