Mosfet the cat 2001 – 2018
RIP Mosfet, sorry to read that. Cats are wonderful life (and lab) companions. I also have a couple and had others I miss a lot. All of them had their personal character, habits and quirks, but invariably all of them have this fantastic common trait in all cats: curiosity! I just love when they stare at us when we're doing something; they don't interfere, just sit there and watch. One of them apparently didn't like circuit boards; one day I was looking at a circuit board I just finished soldering, then that cat came closer, looked briefly at the pcb and started hitting it with his paws... that was hilarious, just like telling me i sucked at soldering stuff.:) Probably there were light reflections on the solder joints he didn't like, but whatever... He and another one were also attracted by ultrasound, I discovered this when testing a 40KHz transducer connected to the signal generator: as soon as I hit the transducer resonance the cats rushed in the lab from 2 rooms away meowing... apparently they can hear 40KHz from distance but also totally ignore you when you call them a meter away. I just love those animals!:)<p>Get a new one soon, there are countless of them in need of someone taking care!
