Depending on which editor you're using, CTRL-Z commonly will work. ;)

They must like each other. In fact we have three of the little beasts.

Yes, that's exactly what Snoopy and Puenktchen (engl: dotty) do, but
fortunatelly not to much extend. As I remember the first keyboard locks were
called "catlocks" for some reason... A while I had a touch screen which was more
annoying, since even flies made their entries (mainly closing windows - and
programs) and the tails of the cats, of course.  CTRL-Z will not help with this
but CTRL-S as prophylaxis. So I'm accustomed to hit CTRL-S time and again as a
train-driver hitting his dead man's switch;-)

Best regards,
Michael

*Only* 9 kgs? If this is a small cat, what do you regard a medium-sized 
or even big one? A lynx? A snow leopard? They look cuddly, but probably 
are a little oversized to easily handle them...

See you on my screen!

Since you use a portable machine, move that machine to someplace the cat 
can't go.

John

Apart from a bathtub filled with water, there aren't many places a cat 
can't go if there's a comfy place to sit...

The three rules of feline acquisition:

1. Can I eat it?  It's mine.
2. Can sleep on it?  Mine too.
3. Were you reading that?  Sorry, it's mine now.

Heh, that makes me laugh.  "Big" cats are happy to go for a swim, and 
I've had domesticated cats that were perfectly fine getting into a full 
bathtub.  Even had one who would sit under a running faucet on his own 
(surprised my father one day by jumping into the bathtub while he was 
filling it to bathe).

Yeah. /Warm/ places are great, so if your cat isn't /too/ paranoid about 
water, warm one will probably do fine :-)

(It might also make a difference what sound that faucet makes. If it 
babbles or gurgles that's fine, but if it hisses it's presumably evil...)

This was a faucet turned on at more or less full force.  He'd sit under 
the water stream and look up into the flowing water.

I never thought to see if the water was warm or not.  It probably was.
