You will note the protective surface under her butt.

( Nefret's favourite place to sit: in the middle of my laptop's keyboard. )

I can't really close the top because of issues with the video connection. But being sick of finding rows of /////// in my documents or spontaneous preference panels or Spotlight searches open, I have taken to placing a glass cutting board over the keyboard. The little rubber feet sit perfectly at the corners of the keyboard and prevent the keys from being depressed, and more importantly, keep cat ass off the keys my fingers have to touch.

No, we don't use the board for cutting anymore. At least we won't before a good run through the dishwasher.
