I got to experience something like this today!

High winds in the area have meant that our power has gone out a few times, only to come back a minute or two later. After one outage, our TV wouldn't turn on again. My initial thought was that the power strip got zapped from a surge, so I leaned behind the TV stand to check it.

Stitch, one of our cats, decided to help! He jumped on to the subwoofer I was leaning over, and was looking behind the TV with me.

(It turned out the remote somehow forgot the settings for our TV and sound bar. Everything is fine, fortunately.)
