[Hidden-tech] cat and mouse

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi Lynne,

LoL! I also have a cat but have never run into this particular problem, e.g. cat hair, but do occasionally need to clean out normal dust accumulation. Yours must be a long haired kitty. 

I thinking you might need an anti-static mousepad? Maybe with the heat on and if your house is low humidity, there might be a lot of static?

Best,
Kimo

I don’t like to use it for everyday work because it eats batteries but I’m wondering if that is actually my best option.

I can’t possibly be the only cat-person on this list, right? I will be SO grateful for any suggestions or solutions.
