Cat owners using Mac OS or Linux are unaffected, I presume ;D

justice:
Yes they're advising any windows cat owners to mute the sound until then.

Well...most versions of Linux are.

But that's more thanks to the fact that Pulse Audio delivers such poor sound quality, assuming you can get it to work at all. All those sub and harmonic overtones just get distorted to the point that The Cat Wave no longer effects humans.

It's my understanding that there has been some discussion as to whether or not this should be viewed as a "feature."

Once again proving that we are not the smartest animals on this planet.
