"Today I came home and found my cat using a plasma cutter"

Mine found easier to use my desktop pc to order cat food from Amazon...

/me does not (any longer) own a cat.

It's a joke, until you get one of those Amazon wifi buttons that orders things automatically...

> Kudos to Quinn for never giving up.

Kudos to the cat for never giving up. My cat is clever and stubborn but this cat is downright devious.

> I'm terrified to think what the next step will be once Sprocket chooses to escalate.

I think we should be very happy that cats don't have opposable thumbs.

With Amazon echo and such devices, you never know when you'll come home to a miniature safecracking kit.

After a few hits at it, the realization dawns on our hero: "I can order cat food with this?"

"I can has order cat food?"

After about a year the cat will have pulled the whole thing apart through sheer, continued prying.

It looks like a prison cat feeder.

I thought the same thing, and it's basically the same solution to the same problem. Bored people/cats with nothing to do -> make room fixtures impossible to tamper with.
