"Catproof your computer" 

PawSense claims that it's software will detect and block "cat typing" on your keyboard. You also can program it to play sounds that annoy cats, and thus train your cat to stay away from your keyboard.

Neither the "Hiss" nor the "harmonica" sample had any effect on Simon or Billie. I, however, found the sounds quite annoying, so it would certainly discourage ME from messing with my own keyboard! As to the "cat typing" detection, considering how horrible my typing skills have gotten lately, I wouldn't be surprised if PawSense locked up the keyboard and hissed at me whenever I try to update my blog.

So, while you Windows users will have to deal with critical updates in order to protect you from the sieve that is Windows security, your computer will be safe from that damn cat! Alas, no version for the Mac as yet, so Simon can carry on renaming my file folders with helpful and descriptive names like "]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]\iiiiiiiiiiiiiiii".
