Many of you might not have this problem, but I do, and it's a big one. First of all, I'm a huge advocate of kitty cats, and I have two at home. One of them simply must be with me at all times, including times when I'm on my computer. She really enjoys LAYING across the keyboard while I'm typing, or when I've walked away from the computer. Maybe it's the heat, or maybe it's because she knows it pisses me off, but - I can't tell you how many times I've come back to my laptop to see the screen magnified 5x because of some crazy key combination that she hit. Or how many gibberish instant messages she's sent to friends of mine that I haven't talked to in years. Try explaining that.

So this is a Kitty Keyboard Kover, and it's just a piece of (very strong) plastic to cover your keyboard - simple in theory but VERY handy... and cats love flat surfaces to lay on, so it makes everyone happy. It's sturdy, and will support weights of up to 16lbs - that's enough to hold my fat cat - and comes in different sizes.

Unfortunately this product won't work as well with my laptop, because if I'm not using it I can simply shut it, but for those of you with desktops experiencing similar trauma - I'd look into getting one of these. Bonus - it keeps kitty hair out of the keys!!
