341 - And Another Dead Cat on the Line

There's an old blues song, “Dead Cat on the Line,” which is a phrase I use whenever I find Billy (see 327, Billy is Stuck) dead on the perimeter wire. The only way it can make its way back to the charging base is to follow that wire, which sometimes sends it on such a long journey the battery gives out before it hits the charger. I should probably just buy a new battery.
