Subject: For those who have cats....
Has your cat ever stepped on the computer keyboard and wrecked something you just spent a lot of time typing out?
Or are they just clogging up the keyboard with hair?

Oops. I did a "cut and paste" from an e-mail I got from a friend, and didn't edit it enough. ::)
She lives on a farm, and has seven cats. Most are trained, to keep out of the "office", but "Lena the Evil" is "untrainable".
I thought it would be cool to look at, but as for spending money, moving the keyboard out of the way, or putting a dust-cover over it would be cheaper in my house.
I thought it was funny though, that there are enough people willing to spend money on such a thing, that someone else actually wrote up such a program.

Do you think it would spot toddlers using the computer as well? My son loves to have a go on the computer, he hasn't crashed it - yet.

My cats don't walk on the keyboard. The only time they come close to it is when I am sitting here and they have to get on my lap. Once in a while, the paw will reach out and hit something. Usually, they will obstuct my access to the mouse (you know cats love a mouse ;))
