No, draceplace, i did not witness the incident. If i had, the cat would probably have got "something" from me!!! I've been trying to catch that scoundrel for a long time now but have not been successful. There will not be a next time, however, cos i intend to buy a cover for my monitor once it's ok.. better to take precautions. for the cat, it was just an act of nature, just wish he didn't pick my monitor to act on, that's all!!! bye..
