What do you need to pat test ?

Some days on and the cat pat test is yielding slightly more consistent results.
The little barstard has scratched me just the once in the past few days. He was looking up at the window in my office and normally just leaps on to the window ledge with the expectation that I will open the window. He looked a bit indecisive so, at great personal peril, I picked the little bagger up and set him there. I opened the window and he sat half in and half out.

Night time and a chill wind. I gave him a gentle little pat test to encourage him to go one way or the other so that I could close the window. He did. And rewarded me with a pat test on the back of my hand as he left. Just a couple of inches and not a lot of bleeding.

Yet we put up with it.

spray a can of something, cats hate the sound lol

A PAT tester, some stickers and a pen! Although I do have the C+G qualification, which is pretty pointless.

Yes you need equipment for pat testing but before that you should have some training. Though you cant practice it without any certification.

there are clearly defined qualifications that you need to hold if you want to work as an electrician (wiring on buildings etc) but there is no 'official' qualification needed to carry out PAT Testing.
