The owner has a heart - he bought them heating mats so that they could snooze in another room.

And it cost the owner MILLIONS. Why? Because, you know. There were cats.

If the story is true, I'm guessing this was mistranslated & it could have cost them millions if the cats damaged the equipment. If it really cost them anything, they'd have mentioned what happened.

Probably caused the servers to overheat, or the cats stepping on the power button, and cost millions of Mongolian Tugrik in downtime...

I'm guessing that the accumulated shedding did extensive damage to the equipment AND the owner and/or journalist overstated the damage 🤷
