Cats+Keyboards...

I freaking swear, if I didn't have a keyboard on my desk, my cat would never come up here...

Pic as an example...

I thought this was going to be another cat vomit on the keyboard thread ...
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

My cat knows to stay away from my keyboards. He still climbs on the desk and fur gets everywhere though.
I love Elzy

I'm so let down.

What has that got to do with cats?

He wants to sleep, on my lap, since I'm doing homework, he takes advantage of an empty keyboard.

I don't want to use what I've dubbed "The Punisher"(windex bottle replaced with water) near the keyboard, or my monitor. If I miss, monitor is wet, and cat will run scared and possible mess up my board trying to run off of it.

lol My Pixel is the opposite. When she was a kitten she walked across my Pure with Blues and the clicking must've scarred her for life because now whenever she hops onto my computer desk she raises her body and tiptoes super paranoid around the keyboard :))

If you have enough light for it to survive, try putting a lemongrass or lavender plant on the desk. Most cats don't seem to like how it smells and will stay away from it.
