Oh my "Dogs have owners, cats have staff" I laughed till my side hurt. That is so true.... We had a mice problem... mamma and her runt litter strolled by .. I told the wife that if she fed the straggler .. he/she may stick around and make a mouser and rid us of the mice issue ... We are now...

We have 4 CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD for the server room and computer room, 2 CP1000AVRLCD for the DSL router and Dish stuff. All were bought within a few months of each other in 2012.
