I'm trying not to laugh: while petting Sweatervest - a rather large feline - who's parked in my lap, there's enough static built up at each handstroke to cause my midsection to ground to her butt (the humidifer needs fixin').
The cat, of course, thinks I'm zapping her on purpose (I am, but that's
not the point) and plots revenge.
So... the idea is for a wire: a wrist-strap on one end attached to the petter; a soft wide clip on the other attached to the ear or tail of the pettee.

You could just try grounding yourself before touching the
cat, perhaps with a long copper rod inserted through a hole
in the floor near the sofa and extending below your
foundation. |
|
| |
These problems are easily avoided by shaving or
waxing the cat. |
|
| |
Use a catpacitor to adsorb the charge? |
|
| |
Wimshurst machine, MUHWHAHAHAH! |
|
| |
For cars, you can get those little conductive rubber
tails that drag along the ground, allegedly to
discharge static. I'm sure something similar could be
fitted to a cat. |
|
| |
So are we. We will report the results of practical testing as soon as we
can find and capture a cat. |
|
| |
This may take a while, as for some odd reason there is a long-
standing dearth of cats in our vicinity. Not that we're complaining; we
only require a few now and again for testing and experimental
purposes - usually for projectile weapons. |

My cat Frisco appears to enjoy the occasional jolt,
and runs back for more. Hmph, what could that
signify, I wonder? |

Your cat sounds a little bit freaky. If you truly love Mr
Frisco you should consider buying him a taser. |
|
| |
Also on the matter of cat grounding ACS, you could
attach
a car tire to any cats head and not have to worry
about static electricity |
|
| |
Hmmm, a taser huh? Very funny. His birthday is
rapidly approaching though. Do they cost much I
wonder? |
|
| |
Mr. Frisco is a sophisticated name for a cat btw i like
it |
|
| |
you should get one of those old hand crank shockers
the kind they used to cure tooth aches this might be
a more intimate method of delivering a shocks vs a
straight tazer |
|

The last-but-one time I was in Malaysia, they had
tasers (the non-projectile kind) for sale at half the
stalls in the main street market in KL. Naturally I
bought one (150 Ringitts, haggled down to 75 -
about £15). |
|
| |
It made truly awesome 2-inch arcs between the
metal prongs, which equates to about 50kV.
Never had the nerve to test it on anyone. Sadly,
it died after a few weeks. |
|
| |
Last time I went, I asked around and it seems
they've been banned, which is disappointing. |

they saw you coming <link> |
|
| |
Given a good line of sight, and nothing else to look at, they could have seen you coming any number of times. |
|
| |
Now, if we assume x as Max's position, and the line of sight to be 15 degrees <disappears in cloud of chalk dust.> |

a damming indictment of T-mobile's patchy 4G I'm
afraid. |
