I shred my personal things at the office. I saw my silly kitties pawing at the opening some time ago, and figured it was a matter of time until one paw too many was put in the wrong spot at the wrong time. I live in fear of such things all the time. My cats have such "busy" paws - nothing is sacred. I put a pot lid on the stove tops when I remove a pot - I expect the most devilish behavior from them and often get it.

Thanks for the warning. I never thought about a dog. One could also turn off the "auto" feature, yes?
