Editing Cat (section)

=IRL /tg/ relevance=
The main point of IRL overlap between cats and /tg/ (besides the panoply of cat-themed board games) is that a cat '''will''' knock over all the fiddly bits of your game if you let them. Preventing this is difficult, particularly if the pieces are of the right size to make a cat think "hey, this looks like it might be edible". While cats are usually smart enough to not eat inanimate objects (unlike dogs), a cat will attack unusual small objects like game pieces in order to make sure it's not just a small animal that's playing dead. During gameplay, a [[Lasgun|laser pointer]] is a good tool to divert the cat, but fiddly bits left alone remain a significant risk.
