I'm interested as to how this happened:

Perfectly formed circles, after the monitor got wet (ok, my cat
"scented" it, which I assume is salty water) - why the circles? I
can't
believe the "water" physically spread that evenly. And I'm unaware
of
any connection in an LCD monitor activating a circle - wouldn't I
short
out a horizontal band or something?
Dig out your polarized sunglasses and see if you learn anything.
Might have damaged the front polarizer.

I don't have sunglasses.

Is the polarizer replaceable? I can find a few people selling the
film
to
replace it, but I'm not sure how easy it is or if it's worth the
bother.
A couple of Youtube videos on changing one make it look like a work of
art.

It still seems strange I'm getting very accurate circles. Although
they're gradually expanding, and not always exactly circular. One now
looks like a pacman shape, and another has little scrape marks next to
it.

Likely just some quirk of the plastic that produces that unusual effect
with
****.

So you don't know then.

When I find out which cat did it, it's in big trouble.

Good luck getting everyone registered.


It's the dogs that get registered, stupid.


I rephrase for you, pedant:
"Good luck getting everyone to register their dog."


Don't need to get everyone to register their dog to
be able to work out which dog owner didn't pick up
their dog's turd most of the time.

Even easier for you to work out which of your cats did it
given that even you don't actually have a hundred cats yet.
