You must be doing something wrong. :-) My family has had cats for almost
as long as I can remember. We currently have three of them and they lose
a lot of hair. 

But somehow my Logitech Mouseman Cordless (bought 1995) lasted for 11
years. It was still working last year but I go sick of replacing the
batteries. :-)

Yup. I have a Copperhead. Not really el cheapo either but pricing was ok
for me. The light is great for my long nightly sessions. :-) And
together with a bungee I don't even mind the cable anymore!

Works fine unter FreeBSD. Only problem is that by default it is
recognized as a keyboard which kinda stops my other keyboard (non-USB)
from working. But there's a way around that so no worries!
