<DIV>I'd love to see a picture of your cat sitting on the top of your Cube :)

<DIV>LM<br><br>>>>deschwab@descom-usa.com 09/28/05 1:49 pm >>><br>Forget your pets sleeping on the power brick.  Keep them off the Cube <br>itself.  My big (12.5 pound) cat thought the Cube the best place to <br>sleep, warmth constantly exuding from the grill, but would turn the <br>Cube off at times.  He learned to get off, and on again, and would <br>usually restore the warmth source.<br><br>Eventually, I knew, this had to stop, or the poor Cube would expire <br>from too many off-on cycles.<br><br>Luckily, for those who have similar pet management/Cube management <br>problems, The Container Store sells a nice little three shelve grey <br>painted cast iron shelf unit, and either the high or low shelf holds <br>and displays a Cube handsomely.  (One must place it hanging out a <br>little, to allow access to the DVD-ROM slot, but this has proved no <br>problem)<br><br>And shelf unit can also be fit, as it is in my home, with a nice <br>cushion on the top shelf, on which the persistent cat can sit; the <br>Cube's warmth has more than adequate room to diffuse, and warms the <br>cushion.  The puss likes it, and can sit at close hand watch me at <br>the keyboard.  The only disadvantage is the occasional transit over <br>the keyboard to the cushion.<br><br>Don Schwab </DIV>
