On my computer table, I have the monitor, the tower to the left of it, and a tabletop shelf system containing external drives, cable/DSL gear, etc. Not long ago, I glanced over, and Rhonda, the youngest of my kittens, was lying next to the router. I suppose that it's nice to have a Cat switch that, at most, purrs and occasionally squeaks.
