Extended book review of 2013 (Cat Sense) on the connections between cat psychology, evolution/genetics, history of domestication or lack thereof, & possible dysgenics, highlighting modern maladaptivity of cat psychology, with key references; speculation on cat toys, knocking things over, and tails.
Software is poorly tested, and not robust even after decades of development using techniques like “fuzz testing” (bruteforcing random inputs to trigger problems).
As an example, I log all instances of a different kind of fuzz testing—when my cat walks over my computer keyboard and causes problem! This has done everything from frozen my monitor to deleted files to segfaulted statistical software to both DoSed & crashed X.
Other cats have shut down datacenters, crashed Mac/Window/Ubuntu systems by pressing a button too long, broken screens & printers (somehow), and watched cat videos on YouTube.
