Easy cure... buy some double-sticky tape & put it on the keys of a spare
keyboard. Put that keyboard in place of the old one (system
off/disconnected of course) - have a video camera ready... Cat will walk
on the keyboard, go nuts, & most likely not walk on another keyboard
again. Better alternative: get a dog :-)
