PawSense - Winner of the Ig Nobel Prize in Computer Science
This clever invention is a software program that detects when a cat walks across a computer keyboard and makes a noise to shoo it away.
Chris Niswander, a computer programmer in Tucson, Arizona, won an Ig Nobel Prize in 2000 for his creation, which he continues to improve.
Version 2.1 is now available.

my problem isn't the kitty walking across the keyboard (only on the laptop), it is the cat picking the key caps off. I do not know what started this game but it HAS made me start closing the lid when I leave the room for any length of time.
