Our three cats like to help out with computer tasks. I’ve mentioned before that Sapphire in particular likes to walk across the keyboard or lay down on top of it. You may have seen some of her typing in the posts on this site. They are the ones with the misspelled words.
Now one of Tricia’s friends has come to our rescue by recommending Pawsense, software you can install on your computer that recognizes “cat typing” and shuts off input from the keyboard. It can also be set to make a sound offensive to felines whenever it senses a cat on the keyboard.

I wonder if it fdcv k,l ,.fdsk;sdv,?
I wonder if it works on toddlers (the human variety), too? My 1 1/2 year old daughter likes to do “email,” and it would be nice to have the computer yell at her (or make other suitable noise offensive to toddlers) when I happen to not be around to do it myself.
My cat’s typing skills have just cost us $80; we had to replace a laptop keyboard because of his hefty touch.
It works with baby humans too. But the instructions in the FAQ suggest turning off the sound effects lest you instill a fear of the keyboard in your child.
