My cat only likes the computer when I'm on it; so he can't do anything too horrible!

6. I had no idea that most cats dislike the harmonica...

I wonder if they'd stay away from the keyboard if a harmonica was resting on it.

17. Q: How can a software utility know if a cat is on my computer?

A: If you carefully measure cat paws, you will find that practically all cat paws are significantly larger than a typical keyboard key. When a cat first places its paw down, the cat's weight plus the momentum of the cat's movement exerts pounds of force on the keyboard, primarily through the cat's paw pads. The cat's paw angles and toe positions also undergo complex changes while the paw lands on the keyboard. This forces keys and often key combinations down in a distinctive style of typing which includes unusual timing patterns. Cats' patterns of overall movement in walking or lying down also help make their typing more recognizable.

So PawSense detects cat typing by weighing a combination of factors to achieve maximal speed and reliability.
