It’s so bizarre, I was just talking to the wife about it a couple nights ago, we have 2 cats, about 5 years old now, they’re sisters, almost everything about them is the same, but 1 I can pet for a half hour without any electro static discharge, the other I can’t stroke twice without an audible shock being generated.

Same clothing, same motion, same grounding potential. Every 10 seconds I zap the poor baby. My wife doesn’t have this problem at all.

I think it could be a case study for this paper.
