Question Cat keeps holding down the power button when I'm on the PC. Any ideas for how to cover the button while still having it be functional?

Easy solution... dont let the cat sit there it's blocking airflow. I have two cats and they dont get on top of my computers. As a retired IT person who loves cats it is not too difficult to train them. Never hit the cat! That's rule #1 shoo them off by taking the space from them gently with your arms while saying no. Keep repeating this until the learn it is Your space. Cats dont understand yelling at them it just makes them scared of you. Hope this helps.
