There is a video somewhere on this forum demonstrating more than 7 amps short circuit current on a typical AA.
That 6-8 inch tall mushroom cloud I saw on my bed that one time I tossed a fresh battery holder with 4 AAs in it aside, and it shorted out on landing... Yeaaah...
One or more of the batteries overheated and popped the seal... It was at the tail end of an all nighter, and the cat was bugging me. I turned to yell at the cat, and at that EXACT moment, I witness the battery go poof, see the mushroom cloud... and decide it's time for me to go to bed!
Kitty was just warning me that something smelled funny... Good kitty.
Never underestimate cats, they are smart and twisted animals. But they have a very complex character, they are difficult to understand.
- My Siamese female cat:
* She bitted both mother and me and complained with noises because we were complaining in a rude way. She wanted to end the conflict!
* She always waked me up to go to school, helping my mother at it.
* She's 16yo and looks young and pretty, never had an illness until recently in one of her eyes. But she's getting better. I envy her, she must have a good damn genetic (one thing I like of felines is that they have a very short elderly).
My weird adult but kitty looking female cat is damn smart and agile.
- She's able to enter at any room.
- She prefer humans than their own, but she didn't like a friend of my mother that was in home for over six months and attacked her all time since first day!
* She was right, that woman is fucking insane and annoying, even eating tons of food and never helped at home (she was a Facebook junkie).
- She's able to make most humans friendly to her, even those don't like cats.
