As a matter of fact, just last night, my own server-cum-desktop was brought to a
screeching halt when the cat decided to walk across the UPS, and apparently hit
the switch on that.  There's not much of a software fix for that, is there?

And yes, I am a cat ownee and an emacs user (though one that definitely doesn't
