How can I stop my cat walking on my keyboard during video calls?

Our answer

Place a warm decoy keyboard pad beside the desk and reward the cat for using it; close the door during important calls if necessary.

Why this approach makes sense

Check the animal’s actual habit and offer a suitable alternative gradually. Size, access, texture and placement can matter as much as the product.

Before you try it

Watch for signs of stress or discomfort and adjust the setup to the individual animal.
