I think what happens with keyboards is that the cat hair settles in it
from the air..... cat hair becomes air borne very easily. Since you
can't really wipe the hair off from in between the keys.... like you can
wipe the hair from the desk, so it just builds up.
I deal with all of the computers for the Berkeley East Bay Humane
Society. The resident cats in the office all like to sleep on keyboards.
I set them up with keyboard drawers whenever I can get them cheap, or they
get donated (hint. HINT!) But training the office staff to shut the
drawers when not in use isn't easy.
