Cat technical support problems

This is an actual account by a worker at a technical support and service
center. One particular customer had an old console-type machine with a print
head that would ride back and forth on a spiral shaft. They also had a big bushy
cat that liked to sit on the edge of the printer next to the operator.


Well, one day we got a service call that said, "Cat caught in machine, come
quick!"


When I arrived I saw everyone sitting around mending his or her
various wounds, scratches and contusions. No sight of the cat. It appears that
while they were running the machine the cat was twirling his tail in his usual
fashion and stuck it down into the printer at the most inopportune time and got
sucked in! Apparently, the cat absolutely freaked out and clawed at everyone who
came close. They finally freed the cat, and to this day, the cat goes nowhere
near the machine.
