They potentially harbor Toxoplasma gondii. For human health, ALL fucking cats should be exterminated.

Surprisingly, the pendulum clock persisted into the 1920's as the only accurate time piece for science and engineering. By that time, there were some sophisticated designs for pendulum clocks. But then quartz oscillators were introduced and they obviated the pendulum clock. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_oscillator Quartz oscillators are extremely cheap and provide astounding accuracy. I use them in a lot of my circuits. Pendulum clocks exist only for antique buffs and old women with their pussy cats (and toxoplasmosis).
