Letter: Catproof

Published 8 January 2000

From Brian Higgins

I was amused to read that a $20 program has been developed to help
prevent disastrous encounters between domestic cats and PC keyboards
(4 December, p 18).
I prefer to use KAAAT (keyboard angular aspect adjustment
technology).

When leaving my PC unattended, I simply pick up the keyboard with both hands,
rotate it through 90 degrees about its long axis and, while preserving this
aspect, rest it against the front of the PC’s monitor or some other suitable
vertical prop. I find it works every time—and it doesn’t cost
$20.
