No mouse problem, but I've had to take measures to prevent cat-related downtime. Cats and power-button at the top is not a good combination.

    When I had this problem I disconnected the power button on the motherboard.

    Cant you just assign a different action to that power button instead of messing with it internally?

    You can for a click, but no way for the long press, as that's handled on a lower level

    Did you reconnect it everytime you had to power it on?

    On one computer I had a recessed reset button, so I used that as power.

    Another computer I added a wire to an external button double stick taped to the back of the monitor so I can turn on both at the same time.

    Instead of cat proofing, you were supposed to get a server room dog...

    I have two server room dogs. An English pit, which is my seizure dog, and a Jack Russel. They shed, especially in the summer months, and the floor sweeper gets a daily work out, as well as keeping it out of equipment enclosures. It's not that I hate cats, they are nice as a pet in your house, just not mine. LOL
