No, the cat didn't get the chance to bite them. Just gave them a quick wack off the desk.  

That was my thinking, but then I seemed to remember something a prof said about not dropping caps in a electrical circuits lab years ago. Perhaps I just misremembered what was said in that lab.  

Kinda off topic and perhaps a bit silly to ask. I'm currently building my Torpedo, and the Cat came and decided to jump on my desk. In the process he knocked the Auricaps I was going to use for C11/C12 off my desk and onto the carpet. Should I be worried about any damage? Externally they look...
