Warning: These Gadgets Can Kill 13

Gadgets and pets don't mix....
A new study claims that the tech you love -- your Nintendo Wii, your iPod -- can be a potential health hazard for your pets. Not because they'll spend too much time playing and forget to do things like "eat" and "sleep" (that's you, remember?), but pets ranging from guinea pigs to reptiles are susceptible to injury -- and even death! -- from modern consumer electronics within the home. How? Well, they'll chew remotes, wires, and various other bits of unhealthy tech paraphernalia, and you'll come home to find a dead iguana with a PlayStation 3 controller stuck in its mouth. Grim.

To say nothing of the $300 damage my cat did to my laptop when I didn't close it when I left for a few minutes. As I am a writer, editor, and publisher, the cat was returned to the Humane Society to find a new home. Her new owner, receiving a three-page single-spaced letter from me when she received the cat, detailing all the cat's preferences, was kind enough to call me and assure me that she had no computer to be shredded.
