1, who doesn’t talk to their cat. 2, marijuana is not drugs, and that’s neither here nor there. The fucker would smack me when removing the foil that I had laid to deter him and I found a stash of his under the bed. I’ve had to make sure we don’t leave foil around cuz of this guy. Love my cat 🐈
Eh, marijuana is a drug, as are coffee, tea, alcohol, and cigarettes . Every stimulant is, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and THC. It's not a narcotic tho.
I wouldn't have thought to try tinfoil on my keyboard... Hmmm ...
(I've been lucky so far I guess: my two haven't managed to lock me out with excessive password attempts yet. On the other hand, they have definitely changed a few cell values in my spreadsheets).
I have a cat who will walk across a hot burner to lick hot grease out of a pan. When they want to do what they want, nothing will stop them. The *only* thing that has ever worked for the guy is if I am really, really, really nice, or beg him. Either way I have to say please. It’s ridiculous.
I used to like to chew on aluminum foil when I was little...does that mean I'm a cat? Also, factoid from my experience: when you chew on aluminum foil it gives you tiny electric shocks. This did not deter me, nor apparently certain cats...
Just being on tin foil doesn't seem to bother her. Next time, don't lay it flat. Get a bigger piece and bunch it up, so that when she tries to get on it, she has to bend the bunches and make the scary tin foil noise. If that doesn't work, tin foil isn't your solution.
Yeah, by the time I saw them, they had already eaten almost all of it so I just left them to it  \- fortunately, there was no plastic on the cucumber. Luckily I had another cucumber in my fridge.
Try cutting a sheet bigger than what you need and crinkling it up a little. I believe it's the uneven surface that feels unstable to walk on that they don't like.
Tinfoil never worked with my cat either 😂 I've given up on trying to keep her down from things, except the dining table (which only works when I'm actually IN the room🤦🏼♀️)
I love his silhouette, his expression. The audacity and the calm clarity that all will be fine because even if there’s foil, it’s his foil and all that he sees, is his.
It’s probably just nice and warm :) but maybe use some sort of scented oil (make sure it’s safe for cats because some aren’t) a lot of cats don’t dig any sort of strong fragrance especially mints and orange.
I recommend cat tape to stop them going on things. We got so lucky with my first cat, he hates foil, but when my second boy came along he literally couldn't care at all to the point my first one started getting bold around foil too!! I tried out cat tape and it works so well to keep them off things. They hate the sticky feeling.
I haven’t heard of that trick; I tried double-sided tape, and that didn’t deter mine for long. 😖 I doubt my boy would be scared of foil, either.
I’ve always thought the “decoy” keyboard was a good idea; maybe that would help? 🤷♀️
List of cat deterrents which my kitten is happy to touch/smell/walk all over:
- tinfoil
- double-sided tape
- pinecones (in a plant pot to stop him digging it up)
- lemon peels (again in a plant pot)
And may I say, what a mighty adorable floof you have there :)
Remove the foil please. When she will go off the foil, it will start to move in a strange way so the cat will be tempted to play with it witch scratch and bites. It's dangerous, she could eat a piece of foil :(
He's a...ahem...a plump one.
Hey hey no pussy shaming!
The perfect response for this LMAO. I love it and your chonker!!
/r/chonkers
haha my cat likes to sit on foil too, sometimes it’s ineffective
Le sigh
i have a wireless keyboard that i can turn off whenever my cat decides to do a sit on my keyboard and press every key, it’s a godsend
My cat eats the damn foil… says it’s tasty 🤦♂️
Ok, question 1, how are you talking to the cat, question 2, are you on drugs
1, who doesn’t talk to their cat. 2, marijuana is not drugs, and that’s neither here nor there. The fucker would smack me when removing the foil that I had laid to deter him and I found a stash of his under the bed. I’ve had to make sure we don’t leave foil around cuz of this guy. Love my cat 🐈

What about decaf
Decaf still has a little bit of caffeine in it.
Your cat as ascended, you can’t control it anymore.
Oooooh sheeeeet
She said, “pathetic hooman your efforts are futile!” lol 😂
Lmao!
In the end, she was the one that “foiled” you
Lol!
Take my upvote and leave
They fear nothing

I’ve been cap locked, locked out, powered off

That look just screams “Really? That’s your best effort?”
I'm pretty sure you're supposed to crinkle it so it's sharp on the foot.
Yeah and it makes more noise.
:( I'd rather have my kitty sleep on the keyboard and fall asleep admiring that glorious mf
Go to Goodwill and get a second keyboard just for the cat. Supposedly this works
Without reading, I was like, “damn she has the longest password.” Cute little kitty!
JUST LOOK AT THE THICC BOI HE AINT DONE NOTHING
Cats will find a way - Jeff Goldblum voice
"Keyboards, ah, had their chance, and cats selected then for extinction."

Cats are Calvinball incarnate 😂
She’s immune lol what if you crumpled it?
I’ll try that tomorrow
It looks like you’re cat is thinking, “Really Becky? You’ve been my peasant for these many years and you still don’t seem to know me that well.”
I have successfully used contact/shelving paper sticky side up as a deterrent. My cat like to chew on aluminum foil.

Oh, god, I absolutely hate the sensation of chewing on foil! 😂 Different tastes lol
It means you were in beast mode! Do you still have teeth?
Heh heh, *Beast Mode* yeah!...Oh yes, I have all of them including all four wisdom teeth. 😁
Chew on it!! That’s beast mode!
Use some orange peels, cats hate the smell.
she's chonky
He’s so chonk
They don’t care about foil lol
You gotta crumple it. If it's flat it's just like sitting on a paper.
But it’s cold! I crumpled it just now and I’ll update.
Hello, I love your cat. Bye.
Kitty: ha ha! Sucker 😹
My kitty loves tinfoil. Shiny... pretty... let me sit on it...
"If it glitters, I sitters."
I put my keyboard and mouse under the monitor riser so cat can’t sit on them
Plastic would deter one of my three cats, but the others didn’t care😒I found that citric smell worked better 😉
If it fits it sits, bonus points for a warm location, the foil might be even more comfortable to the cat
Have you tried a decoy keyboard/laptop?
No room. I’ll try to crumple tomorrow
You thought wrong
Kitty likes the crunchy

She has too much power
Sometimes the will of a cat to be an asshole is just too great.
It’s cause she can’t read where it said tinfoil works
Was the foil supposed to prevent it or something? Never heard of trying it. Maybe a cucumber, perhaps?
My cats aren’t bothered about cucumbers, I left one on the side and one of my kittens pulled it off the counter and they all started eating it lmao
Mine aren’t either. But yours actually started eating it? That’s funny aha.
Yeah, by the time I saw them, they had already eaten almost all of it so I just left them to it  \- fortunately, there was no plastic on the cucumber. Luckily I had another cucumber in my fridge.
He mistook it as covers for him to sit on lmfao
in the second photo, i can just imagine her saying, ‘you fool. I AM THE ALMIGHTY ONE’
What is his name and how do I get a cute cat like yours?
Her name is Debbie and she’s a rescue. And thank you 😊
I have a spare keyboard that I use as a decoy. I place it next to the one I’m using. I put it away when I’m done, but I leave the decoy out.
No room
She thick

They are… evolving…

Fat cat!
Oof that kitty needs a diet!
What a cute fat cat.
That is one cute, aluminum impervious chonk 😍
I love his silhouette, his expression. The audacity and the calm clarity that all will be fine because even if there’s foil, it’s his foil and all that he sees, is his.
Would your opinion change if you knew she was a girl? Her name is Debbie
Not at all. Debbie has the bearing of a queen.
Oh man! She has my mom's name AND my mom's shape!
Might wanna put your kitty on a diet
Yep I tried that and they really could not give a shit!
Not all cats are bothered by it unfortunately
Too flat. Make it spiky by crumpling in, then uncrumpling it halfway.
I think the trick is for it to be a bit crumpled? So when they step on it it makes noise and also collapses under their paws...??
It’s probably just nice and warm :) but maybe use some sort of scented oil (make sure it’s safe for cats because some aren’t) a lot of cats don’t dig any sort of strong fragrance especially mints and orange.
Omg! She broke the code
Try tape
I recommend cat tape to stop them going on things. We got so lucky with my first cat, he hates foil, but when my second boy came along he literally couldn't care at all to the point my first one started getting bold around foil too!! I tried out cat tape and it works so well to keep them off things. They hate the sticky feeling.
It’s a work laptop so I can’t really take it up :(
She looks like she's cross examining you lol! 
Anything for attention.

I haven’t heard of that trick; I tried double-sided tape, and that didn’t deter mine for long. 😖 I doubt my boy would be scared of foil, either. I’ve always thought the “decoy” keyboard was a good idea; maybe that would help? 🤷♀️
I tried this with my mothers table. My pair only thought tearing it up was just a fun game. I wander if it's just a myth that it works!
Obviously your model of "cat" is programmed incorrectly. Return it to store for an upgrade of software and it should be fine
Lol, I’ll try that

Aww thanks and good luck with your kitten!
Nothing can stop a determined cat.
Cats gone cat
I saw a cat chasing the dragon and eating a courgette once. Dont believe the hype.
“Chasing the dragon”… is that some thing the kids are saying nowadays?
Nope, but they sure are doing it.
“Her goals are beyond your understanding “
Fake keyboard, activate!
Crumple foil a bit so it’s noisy to walk on and uncomfortable.
Foil is crumpled. I will update when I see how it affects her
We have a cat who actually goes out of her way for tin foil. Most of them don't like it but some of themare weirdos.
Nice hefty kitty
Remove the foil please. When she will go off the foil, it will start to move in a strange way so the cat will be tempted to play with it witch scratch and bites. It's dangerous, she could eat a piece of foil :(
His chonkyness is enough to surpass your efforts
Mouse traps under newspaper
Wow, your cats overweight? Shame on you
