My room-mate's cat, Tweeter, keeps trying to login to the Linux server in the
corner. It's kinda cute, really. She stands up and puts her forepaws on he
keyboard, and somtimes it looks like she's trying to type. The other day, she
fell asleep on the keyboard. (She's a true hacker's kitty) The beeping didn't
even wake her up. :)

My cats have learned not to attempt to waylay the keyboard. They attempt to
hijack the lap instead.
Though the male seems to enjoy the phone a bit too much.

One of my cats used to have a thing about getting on my lap and then
popping up between me and my keyboard. When he got bored with that, he
would try to lie down between the keyboard and monitor. Then one day he
noticed text scrolling on the monitor and went nuts clawing at the screen
as the words zipped by.

My cat decided that he liked oatmeal bread (and rightly so) and spent lots
of time yesterday standing between me and the screen, lying on the keyboard,
and drooling on the shift key. Thenhe decided he preferred just knocking
things off the desk.

My cat always seems to hit the button with the windows logo or the
alt key. <sigh> Enter is his other favorite.

Ours are currently enamored with the tree and its various decorations.

My cats, fortunately, don't like the feel of the keyboard on their tootsies.
They very carefully walk around it.

My cat likes to stomp one paw on the board, usually causing my laptop to
beep. Then he hops on the desk, puts his paw on my face and manages to
pull off my glasses. Then he meows in mockery of me.

My cat _once_ made an attempt to leap up on the keyboard. Fortunately, I
was able to intercept him in mid-air, scooping him from below, and adding
sufficient energy to launch him in a long graceful arc, to a point on the
far wall about five feet from the floor.

Mittens does not like being that high. She is very nervous when near the
computer, since it's on a table. So she's never actually done anything to
our keyboard.

I had a high school teacher who complained one day that he couldn't get his
e-mail because his cat had deleted his communications software.

I once had a blackbird get into my office and type "ZSD".

My boss has semi-adopted a neighbor cat, and occasionally
lets her in to the building. Usually she sleeps in the
basket we use for outgoing mail, but when she wants attention
she launches herself onto the keyboard. At this point I
usually show her the exit...
I'm afraid she is starting to think that that is how to ask
to be put out...

edison doesn't type, but he does like to settle himself around the
front of my neck, just below my chin. (i have no idea how he keeps
his balance there without sinking in all his claws.) he usually does
this when i'm sitting at the computer, thereby completely blocking my
view of the keyboard but not the monitor. so while my cat doesn't type
himself, he has taught me how to touch-type.

Edison is a good name. I named my cat Harley before I even saw him. I
figured it would be a cool name for a cat, male or female. He does purr
like one! Though lately I call him Harlis, it just fits him better.
Then again he sorta looks like a "Seymour".
