Reply #26: First and foremost: do you have a laptop or a desktop computer? [View All]

If you have a laptop, don't get ANY liquid near it, such as the suggestions for a water spray. Believe me, I know.
I spilled a few drops of scotch and water on my keyboard and it cost me almost $400 to get my laptop fixed.

(Aside: if you DO get any liquid dripped into your laptop, turn it off IMMEDIATELY.)

Next, if your cat is hanging out on an independent keyboard for a desk top computer, there's not a whole lot to worry about. They only cost about $10 or so. However, walking on the keys can do some damage to your work products.
My cat does this on my newspaper, i.e., sits on what I'm reading. I just take him off and cuddle him in my arms for a couple minutes, then put him somewhere else. Works every time.

I taught my 18-yr-old cat to appreciate cuddling early on.
