Felines destroy server farms in three ways:
1) The Garfield Effect. Cats become lazy, not hunting mice, so mice breed and overrun the facility. Then the mice start chewing cables and making nests inside server racks. Thus you have both cable failures and general equipment failures.
2) The Bezoar effect. They have lots of fur, so linted hairs gets flying in air, and eventually sucked into rack cooling system. The excessive hair clog the filters, and make the fans stuck. Or even worse, get deeply inside the equipment and stop the air from flowing freely. This leads to slow heat degradation due to fans failure.
3) The Tesla effect. Somehow related to Bezoar effect. As cats have fur, as they move it creates an electrostatic charge, which is often lethal to any non-grounded equipment and especially to exposed connectors. It's enough for a cat to touch an exposed USB or serial connector with it's paw, to send a 1000V electrostatic discharge straight to the server's mainboard. Server mainboards, unlike desktop ones, usually aren't designed to be that robust, as they're almost always handled by professionals. This all leads to sudden equipment failure, which is very hard to diagnose.
