Solving a very serious problem: CAT TYPING!
			</H4>
			<P><IMG width="249" height="212" src="http://www.mentalfloss.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/12/cat-like-typing-detected.gif" alt="cat-like-typing-detected.gif" id="image3349" />This reminds me of Steve Martin discussing the horrors of cat juggling in <EM>The Jerk. </EM>Apparently someone found cats walking on keyboards a big enough problem to create a <A target="_blank" href="http://www.bitboost.com/pawsense/">program </A>that could detect “Cat-like typing”. When the program detects a cat walking across the keyboard it locks the keyboard functions and makes an annoying noise over the computer speakers to scare the cat away. There’s even a helpful Q&A on the site, addressing questions like “What if my cat is deaf?” with part of the answer being “PawSense detects the paws of even deaf cats.” That’s brilliant.
