After the cat has been trained to avoid the shelf or desk, you can remove the foil.
I personally recommend motion-detecting air spray cans, I didn't want the cat to feel punished by me, he just needs to be redirected. Therefore I opt for these as a deterrent, since it is both effective and an action I undertake from the cat's view. I think he hates it because of the hiss, but the air spray itself might play a role.
And they might turn you into the Freakazoid
Maybe add a 1999 or 2000 datestamp to this (it won the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners... Ig Nobel prize in Computer Science in 2000...)
Just be glad the "secondary" cats haven't decided to vent their frustration.
My ginger passed and I adopted a cat who was named "Tank" because he was a little box of a pre 4week cat. Got him at 5-6 weeks, his name is Tiny Jerk because even at a young age - tooth brush, toilet paper, socks got carried off.
It was a bond. So while primary and secondary are not the best terms "my cat" and the others isn't either.
He is a great cat, he's also dealing with moving from the place he was raised to a new home (mover ~1yr ago, but moved him up - and the rest - 6mo ago). He gets all the attention he demands, but it's hard with the typing.
Ultimately all this does is incentivize cats to type more accurately when inputting malicious commands
> Even while you use your other software, PawSense constantly monitors keyboard activity. PawSense analyzes keypress timings and combinations to distinguish cat typing from human typing.
We had a monitor on the wall showing the most popular search terms over the past hour. A few minutes into the event, we saw a search term steadily move to the top of the list. It was something like `'[]`. After thinking about it for a few minutes, we concluded a user left their browser on our search page, a cat stepped on their keyboard in just the right pattern, and then sat down on the F5-key (i.e., refresh key).
No way to know if we got it right, but it was the best we came up with in the 20-ish minutes before it stopped. Oh the things you'll diagnose...
A: PawSense detects the paws of even deaf cats. Even if a cat is deaf, PawSense blocks cat typing once detected. This makes it harder for the cat to mess up your programs, data files, and operating system.
However, PawSense does not include a miracle cure for deafness.

Well until my family was adopted (and enslaved) by a cat who walked in one day and never left.
Windows 11 having a full screen countdown I've never heard about? Check
A key combination that disables the keyboard? Check
The disabled magnifier that shows up anyway, but now with a setting that forces to to hard boot because you see nothing? Check
I do not mention the 90 or 180° rotation of the screen, a switch of the keyboard and display to Turkish and others.
This cat is an IT desease.
