My old cat used to do something similar with a glass patio door. I found that keeping a consistent routine and placing a small rug right at the threshold helped a lot. She seemed to need that clear physical marker to understand the barrier was there. It took a few weeks of gentle guidance, but she eventually stopped trying. Patience and a visual cue made the biggest difference.

Totally thought my grandpa was just set in his ways. He swore by putting a pinch of sugar in plaster to slow it down on hot days. Laughed it off until a summer patio repair turned into a rushed, sweaty mess. Tried his trick on the next one and it was way more manageable.

Warm ups help but they aren't a magic fix. Genetics and past injuries play a big role, like baker.willow found out. Good form reduces risk, it doesn't remove it completely.

Wait, is DeoxIT safe for relay contacts? I mean, I was always told that stuff leaves a film that can cause more problems later. Maybe it's just me but I've had way better luck just using a plain contact cleaner and then a tiny bit of isopropyl alcohol to get rid of any leftover gunk. That spray seems to work for now, but I'd keep an eye on it.

Oh man, is your monitor gaslighting you about the sky color? Classic. Mine makes every sunset look like a radioactive fruit punch until I print it.
