What is it with cats and keyboards? Inquiring minds want to know, and some minds are even attempting to do something about it. I haven't tried this, but am considering it:

Any other suggestions? I have tried tilting the top of my laptop down so low that I'm typing blind, and the cat will stick her nose under there and attempt to push the top open so she can walk on the keyboard. This is not random--as soon as she crosses over the keyboard, she turns around and recrosses, repeating until she is distracted by toes under the blankets or I get up and let her out, feed her, or feed the fire.
At first I thought she was trying to communicate, and based on this suggested that we name her Rabnu7; my daughter nixed this, but I still think it suits her. I have decided instead that it's all about the keyboard, and the ability to type, or delete large swaths of typing, or sending of mysterious emails is simply a desirable by-product. All of this is covered in the cat manual, which is, unfortunately, typed in cat.
Insight (from humans) appreciated.
