I’m not so worried about my cats spamming as I am about them discovering 1-click amazon ordering. OTOH, that could explain [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=813779). ---

I once had a cat rename a file on my desktop something in the vein of the above ghghdfdfrrrsdeavedgdgd, except much longer. Much worse was when one (somehow) managed to delete a folder filled with hundreds of files from my desktop without sending it to the recycling bin. I had to try 3 shareware undelete programs before I found one that could recover all the files. ---

It took four cans of tuna … but I got one of my cats to admit this thread has gone viral on the caternet … I hope the SDMB IT gurus have robust catnip filters in place … apparently there’s world-wide feline animosity forming … us teeming millions need to secure our keyboards for the next few days … I’ve tried, but the moderators don’t accept “My cat did it” anymore … ---
