On electrical stuff. The last couple of months, I have had a mini fridge around in my study - very convenient for me (and many feet away from me) - but also a favorite resting place for cats. Yerks!!!! With all you write about the dangers of electrical things, do you suggest I find a way to keep them off the fridge?

Thank you for sharing that Elsa. It's funny that you would mention cats, as they are attracted to certain electrical fields like keyboards, computers, and magnetic fields that repel dogs. Egyptians noticed this, and it is detailed by building biologists that cats and ants follow different magnetic field lines.
I'll have to think about your question a little more, but do you have a wool blanket you could throw on top of the fridge?
Wool is an electrical insulator, so may reduce the EMF by a bit. If you're worried it'll get turned to shreds, you could try cotton or even linen, but it may not work as well.
You could also try turning the fridge off for an hour and see what they do? Refrigerators generate large magnetic fields since they have coiled transformers inside.
Thank you for the suggestion of a wool blanket. They are not shredders. And I believe I have an old wool blanket (meaning, not something synthetic). I will hunt it up. I believe they like the hum, plus the high vantage point. (The mini-fridge is on a little table.)

Hope that helps for now.
