Blender Defender keeps cat off kitchen counter

catblender.jpgIt's been a long, hard week -- I've been coding till my eyes grew crusty -- and this made me chuckle. "Poor cat" came next, but it's undeniably funny.

Blender Defender is a kitchen-counter blender one-third full of water, its "on" switch linked to a motion detector. When the cat jumps on the counter (allegedly to eat a plant there), a strobe flashes and the blender starts whirring.

The cat achieves Olympic-style speed records of 0-60 in a millisecond.

No cats were harmed in the production of this video, but one was seriously startled.
