Call me McGyver

In one of those unbelievable "my dog ate my homework" tales, of all places in my home, my cat decided to puke ON MY on personal laptop's keyboard overnight.
This took place a few months back, and undoubtedly happened early into the evening because by the time I got to my laptop that morning, the puke was dry and crusty.
After what i felt was a thorough and careful cleaning session, about a third of the keys were unresponsive so I even popped them off to try and clean below. No dice.
I dreaded the idea of taking it in to get fixed so I just graves an old external keyboard and used it instead.
I finally reached the point of no return and bit the bullet; finding a new and cheap replacement keyboard ($25, $32 with shipping). A quick search on google on how to swap keyboards and literally 5mins later... VOILÁ!



Now the question is, why didn't I do this months ago?!

Lesson to you: if you own a cat, never ever leave your laptop open overnight. EVER!

Question for you: What has you cat ruined with puke?

I didn't know the keyboard comes off! I remember my cat would puke on the kitchen tile, but would always land on the grout part, staining it! she just couldn't puke in the center of the tile!
