Bit of an odd post but hope I can get someone who understands electrics more than I.

Sadly found a stray cat which had been around gardens living in sheds around here for a few years dead a foot or two in front of a Parkside Robot Lawnmower charging station we had just set up. Cat had no visible injuries.

Charger station was plugged in and active. The Robot mower was not in it .

Is it possible that it could have shocked the Cat and killed it or just pure coincidence it died there? Could the Cat have gone under and made contact with the two metal terminals underneath and got a shock.

It was raining so there would have been water involved to some degree.

If that robot really killed the cat, I GOT TO GET ONE OF THOSE. I have skunks, o'possums, racoons, dogs, cats and rabbits at my house that I don't own. I live in the city too. Amazing what security cams catch at night. If i was a kid again with my new pellet gun........
