Cat crashed Time Machine

drat them cats
wish I could help you- some one should come along though- hang in there

 

Take better care of your cat and I bet none of this wouldve happened. Cant hela you with anything else. Them cats be evil creatures.

 

It takes a lot to stand out as unhelpful on the Internet, but nicely done.

 

If it fits, I sits...

 

You have been even less helpfull to op. At least i tried to cheer op up. It does not take a lot to shoulder the shining armor of forum police, pointing out pointless posts and in the progress adding even more spam to the thread.

Edit: I mean how can you not giggle at the thread title.

 

Did you try a reboot of the TM and Mac?

 

Although like most people posting in your thread I have no useful advice, I come bearing cat based humour courtesy of The Oatmeal...

 

I have determined that my cat is trying to kill me. I may have a problem.

We have two cats and they love external HDDs (like the picture of one of the cats napping on our external USB drive). They also have a love for the mac mini.

I'm not much of a cat person (my wife is), but I can't help but think they're cute when they try desperately to sleep on top of the mac mini but keep falling off because they don't fit.

As for a helpful bit of advice - keyboard drawers are your friend with cats. It's amazing what the feline friends can do by just walking across a keyboard.

 

Heya

I found out the best way to keep cats out of my media centre is to use scented candels. Just leave a few pieces lying around your device.

I am using tea tree scented candles so ..

About your problem..

Are using Lion?
Can you install a fresh lion install? and then later try to restore just the application.

 

Yeah, I now instinctively move my keyboard up under the chin when the biggest of our two cats jumps up onto the desk if I am not typing.
