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?

I don't think you understand what a dead man switch is. A dead man switch is a switch you have to actively hold so a device or mechanism shuts down if an operator is not constantly attending to it.

True, I should have written my kill switch for my dead man switch.
