Okay but can you please explain how it is not for sits, given that it is unequivocally made of warm?
::: spoiler Maybe get a cat thermal pad. They are always cold. I had issues with mine cuddling up to my warm thighs after a physical therapy cycling routine. She was causing issues so I got a pad on a hunch and a whim about her thermal motivation. She is on this thing ~23/7 since 2020.
I actually have one, as well as a 3d printer, I was sort of toying with the idea of taking the thermal pad, printing a base that looks like my router, and installing some tiny fans to blow the slightly warm air upwards, it would be a biggish product but I'd be down for her to keep the spot while I keep my router free of heat damage
I actually did a similar project for her which you can see in the Bottom left, it's a little monitor that actually works and used to play bird videos so she could sit next to my desk and feel like she had her own monitor. Since then I've repurposed it to run a media server but she still gets to look at it i suppose . The back says peppersoft

This is too cute 🥺
tell ur cat she's a pretty one :3
She is a very pretty, spicy girl
Wouldn’t work unless it was more expensive or fragile than the router ;-)
"spoiler"?
Im in ur networks, killin ur wifis
Woah, an "icanhazcheesebugers" reference in 2024! I love it.
Those were better days.
Connected via CAT1 ~~cable~~ tail.
Transmitting wirelessly at several gigapurrs per second.

Do the red racing stripes make it zoom faster?
It's to hone the palantir's connection to the other 6 palantirs
If not for sits why is it made of warm?
Lil bonus pic from this morning of her really relaxing cause people seem to enjoy her 
Regular router maintenance...
- dusting - check
- hairballs - severe
Router warmth benefit increased by surrounding turrets.
I'm always more at ease when I'm well defended by turrets.
Does she give you tortitude if you try to move her?
Holy fuck she gives it even if you don't
I hung my router on the wall and replaced it with a warming pad. It’s all adorable fun and games until your router’s cooling vents get clogged with floof.
I heard before that the internet was for transmitting lolcats but this is getting ridiculous(ly cute)!
Gorgeous kitty! 😻
If I were a goddess I'd make an evil throne out of your $200 router too.
Can you flip it upside down so it looks like they are riding a robot spider?
I have that router. It's a great router. Never drops out, never needs to be reset. It just works, and works well.
My only complaint is that it has a tendency to refuse to switch back to a DFS channel once the airwaves are clear, but I mostly use ethernet anyway so it's not the end of the world. I'm just happy to finally own a router that does what it's supposed to without needing a power cycle every few weeks.
Edit: Model is Toilet Paper-Link Archer AX11000
It is fantastic, still i have it set to power cycle every few days regardless to be safe, but I've never had all the issues I have with past routers

Looks exactly like several video game mini bosses standing on their evil spawn points.
Looks like Olive!
Aww what a beautiful kitty, would most definitely kick peppers ass though when she went to start a fight 😂 she's tiny but she won't accept that fact

NGL, i was a little disappointed when i scrolled down and she wasn't sitting on this. Yours is probably more comfy!
Cats like heat
One does not simply walk into Mordor
Serious question. What does a $200 router do that my shitty Xfinity One doesn't?
A lot of the ISP provided routers don't even let you change the DNS.
Better range, better speeds, better control panel, and some extra features that can be great for gaming or self-hosting servers (eg: network-wide adblocker, nat loopback)

All hail Queen Pepper!
You leave her cat bed alone!
New sauron visuals just dropped
Makes a nice kitty throne for plotting world domination.
Is that the one where like 4 of 6 antennas are fake?
Well I sure hope not, they all seem to weigh the same and use gold connectors but I guess you never know
Lucky, getting free cat-ions all day long
My cats love to get behind my servers. When I’m running a compute job and the fans spin up my cats scurry over to bask in the heat
