That Is Not A Nice Comment.

The problem with cats though is that they're inquisitive and may not take
the shortest route, so if they decide to have an explore all around under
the floorboards before popping out to claim the kipper you might have to
re-do cable length calculations.

I can't see a suggested derating factor for "Below Floorboards Pulled By
Cat" in the tables for mounting methods in the IEE regs.
