my solution to the cat/keyboard problem was a wicker basket and some safety wire. The wire attaches the basket to the venting grate on the top of the monintor. That way we don't have any more, uh, accidents. It's a pretty big monitor, not sure if this would work for you. I think I found the basket at Peir 1. The towels beneath the basket help make it more level, as the top of the montior isn't flat. For a while I had webcam above the basket, and I could spy on the kids 24/7. When they were itty bitty it was easier to share, now there's usually a bit of grumbling when the second cat gets in. They manage, though. In fact, they're both in there as I type this. Silly cats.
