Contact the company that made it and see if they can recomend something you could apply to the screen that would fix it.

Fascinating.

You should clip a claw and have it sent to a lab for analysis. Do you realise the moh hardness it takes to scratch the AGC on a CRT surface? Quite high, even higher than the enamel on their teeth. A cat's tooth could do it if accelerated to sufficient velocity. Certainly more force than their paws could generate unless this is one unique pussy. :p

Bad Cat!
Put her on "Mixed Grill" for dinner, no more of those "Salmon" or "whitefish" cans.

Yes, but couldn't the friction from a small point rapidly moving across the surface, generate sufficient thermal energy to also affect the coating? What are the temp specs for that stuff, in terms of chemical stability?

wth are you talking about? The anti glare coating is not that durable. Certainly not as much as tooth enamel. Even alcohol can damage the AGC coating.

Chemical attack and physical damage are totally unrelated.

Perhaps I'll submit this to the Committee and they'll give 500 kilobucks to research it! ;)

Is the cat 64 bit compatible because if you wait, maybe you can upgrade him to a 64 bit system and hopefully avoid such issues in the future.

Yes, I'd like to get my hands on one of those unique pussies.
