My cat has turned off my TV & VCRs -- I have them powered off a
pretty-standard surge protector with a pretty-standard rocker switch, and even
a small cat is heavy enough to flip it just stepping on the corner casually
walking by.
Then there was the time he puked right over one of the un-used outlets on the
same surge protecter. Fortunately I had it covered with one of those little
plastic plugs -- I don't want to even think about cat puke in a live outlet.
Maybe he just thinks a spend too much time watching TV :)
