Shoutout to my cat for teaching me about cable management the hard way

Last Tuesday I was finally getting my desk cables under control, using those sticky cable clips from the Dollar Tree. My cat Luna decided right when I had everything zipped up tight to jump up and chase a loose end under my monitor. She yanked the whole power strip off the back of my desk and my PC shut down mid-raid in World of Warcraft. Took me an hour to untangle her from the mess and re-route everything behind a solid cable raceway. Has anyone else had pets wreck their setup like this?

Did you ever read that study about cats being attracted to dangling things because it mimics prey movement? I saw a writeup somewhere that said they literally can't help but bat at loose cords. Sounds like Luna was just doing her job as a predator, even if it cost you your raid progress.

My buddy's dog yanked his whole tower off the desk chasing a laser pointer once.
