Need some keyboard protecting ideas

Well, I've noticed that lately my cat has developed somewhat of a fetish for laptop keyboards. She likes to pull the keys off of them. I've already replaced 2... one on my laptop and one on my fiance's. It's getting kinda old, especially since they cost around $30 on eBay. Does anybody know of a kind of cover you can put over laptop keyboards, kinda like those that you'd put over regular ones?

If not, I'll probably get a regular keyboard and leave the other one covered up with a towel or something. So let's hear it... what should I do? Believe me, I've already thought about shooting the cat.



Just kidding... I love my cat. I'd never shoot her... with a real gun.

Can you see if the manufacture carries anything?

When you're not using your laptop just close the cover...or does she do it while you're working on it too?

That would be ideal, but sometimes you just get up to get a drink and 2 mins later you come back to chaos.

That company won't make me one.

Dang that cat works fast!! Looks like you should just keep a towel nearby and if you have to run and get a drink, just cover the keyboard.
