My cat knocked over my coffee right as the big twist in the 'Severance' finale was revealed

I was on my couch in Denver, totally hooked on the last ten minutes. My cat, Mittens, jumped up and sent a full mug of cold brew right onto my laptop keyboard. The screen went black for a solid 30 seconds while I scrambled with a towel. I had to finish the episode on my phone, which just felt wrong for such a cool show. Has anyone else had a pet totally ruin a finale moment for them?

My dog did that during a big fight scene once. I keep a silicone keyboard cover on my laptop now (they're cheap on Amazon). It won't save the screen from a spill, but it keeps the keys from getting ruined. A towel under your mug helps too.

You say a towel under your mug helps, but that's just making a mess easier to clean up instead of stopping it. Why not just keep drinks on a side table away from your electronics entirely? A keyboard cover is a band-aid fix for a problem you can avoid. It's not that hard to just be more careful where you put your coffee.
