Hi Hema! ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿป

I am so happy you created another wonderful series of posts! ๐ŸŽ‰ I was away for a while, and I felt a bit shy about returning after such a long break. Your post encouraged me to come back and write a comment about my two black cats โ€“ thank you very much for that ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿˆโ€โฌ›

Meet Puszek (above) and Kicia (below) โ€“ two black cats I adopted from the local animal shelter several years ago. Right now, Puszek is sitting on my lap and helping me write this comment ๐Ÿ˜ƒ In general, they like to help me work, but sometimes they also disturb me โ€“ especially when they decide to play above my laptop ๐Ÿ˜…

My cats like to play, cuddle, and sit on the windowsill to look at the outside world. They are super cute, and I love them very much, even though sometimes they get on my nerves (yesterday Kicia knocked over my plant ๐Ÿชด๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ˜ญ).

I missed seeing you around the community, Klaudia and I am so happy to see you back ๐Ÿ˜€ Thank you for sharing Puszek and Kicia with us โค๏ธ They are both so cute sitting in their cat tree ๐Ÿ˜„ Puszek looks like, "Wait, are you taking my picture?" while Kicia is already posing like a pro! Hope we get to see more of this duo in future editions too, but only if you feel like sharing, no pressure at all!

Treating a cat as a desk companion sounds harmless until they curl up over the chassis exhaust, acting as an undocumented thermal insulator that injects an erratic latency penalty into local compilation and benchmark loops. It is the ultimate physical-layer edge case: profiling thread starvation and hardware throttling only to realize your watchdog alert was triggered by a purring 4kg heatsink obstruction.

Anyone else had to recalibrate their IPMI fan curves around feline sleeping schedules?

Love how pets are tagged as 'watercooler' more like radiator when they snuggle up ๐Ÿ˜‚

radiator is so accurate ๐Ÿ˜„ Nothing beats a pet's warmth when they snuggle up ๐Ÿ˜€

Right? They lay you warm until you're too warm... Especially on the ass, that's where they cause you to have nightmares (pro tip, your ass and feet, keep them cold, else you'll have nightmares)

Cats always have something to say about our work ๐Ÿ˜„ Now I want to see your little build-time reviewer, if you're comfortable sharing!
