Unfortunately:
She managed to discover our wireless router, climbed up to the high shelf where it was located, and threw it down to the ground. It looks OK superficially, the little green light comes on, but now none of our computers can find a signal from it, so it seems to be dead.

And Myers further writes in a comment:
She destroyed the router last night just as I was getting online with David Smalley and Aron Ra to do the Dogma Debate podcast. If you listen to their upcoming show and hear them wondering what happened to me in the first minute of the discussion…it was the cat.
Myers is known for his "Anti-Caturday Posts" on his Pharyngula blog. He prefers squid.
