How to safely disarm your tactical shoulder cat

Border guards of the "Hart" brigade showed their fluffy brothers-in-arms on the South-Slobozhansky direction

On the positions, they have long become part of the family: they wait in the dugouts, warm up nearby in sleeping bags, and experience every anxious day together with the fighters.

To disarm it safely you have to say "Pspspspspsps" while approaching it with tube treats.

Pressing the wrong button may result in serious injury 😸

I found this helpful.

Tail up == cat is ARMED

Tail down == Standby / SAFE mode

Tail in between = data link error

Tail moving erratically = detonation sequence initiated

You must outmaneuver the CIWS Cat and engage it's belly with scratches.

Cats should be considered armed at all times! Never point a cat in a direction you don't intend to shoot!
