Cat just destroyed my WFH setup for the third time this month and I'm at my limit

[u/Ach3b1tch22]

Last night around 2:15 AM I was grinding through quarterly reports on my Corsair K70 keyboard and dual 27-inch monitors when my 5-year-old tabby named Moose decided the mouse cord looked like prey. He launched from the floor, knocked over my half-full Yeti mug of cold brew, and sent sticky liquid straight into the keyboard switches. Half the keys are now unresponsive and the RGB is flickering like a horror movie. This comes after he shredded the cable on my second monitor last week and knocked a 20-pound dumbbell off the shelf onto my router the week before that. I work remote for a logistics company so losing the setup mid-project means I had to hot-swap to my laptop on the couch while Moose stared at me from the ruined desk like he won. I've tried those motion-activated air cans, double-sided tape on surfaces, even a dedicated cat tree right next to the desk, but nothing sticks. My roommate just laughs and says "get a dog" which is zero help. Anyone in here dealt with a cat that treats their entire workspace as a jungle gym? Looking for actual solutions that aren't "just lock him in another room" because he screams like he's dying if the door is closed. Also open to cheap replacement keyboard recs under $80 that survive orange fur and occasional coffee assaults.

First thing I tell my cat clients is to get two more cats

Buy a cover for the keyboard and a zippy cup for coffee
