You may have heard about a computer geek who invented a program to allow his system to discern the input from human hands versus the random gibberish that a cat might enter if it decides to walk across the computer keyboard. Filter input for cat-like nonsense, and hopefully, you limit the risks of letting your kitty run rampant. Or so the thinking goes. The other cat has figured out a way around this by being decisive and potentially destructive. As she sits at PJ's side, she doesn't hop up and scamper across the keyboard anymore. She merely reaches up and presses the enter key at the extreme right side of the keyboard instead. Why enter gibberish when you can force the human to do it for you. Not a bad idea. Just press the enter key when it's least convenient. Don't expend effort, but cause chaos anyway. Delegate.
