I like this idea the best so far.

Try psychological warfare. For instance, tell your cat that sitting on the game causes cancer. Or you could have a "1 Million treat prize" for the cat that stays away from your games the longest.
If that doesn't work then I don't know what to tell you.

Sheesh, you think a place that has a hard-on for the 80's as much as KLOV would have been all over Alf. I'm a little disappointed.

Take the cat box off the top of your game! Stick it back on the floor and let the cat continue to poop at floor level. See now the only problem you have is an arcade that smells like cat piss and poop. LOL

a friend of a friand had a story of thier cat that kept getting up on some counter and knocking stuff of.. he tried everything...
one day he had the idea( DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME) to lay down some tinfoil , tape it togther, and electrify it with an electric fence charger.
He came home that night, the tinfoil was literally bunched up to one side of the counter.
THe cat hid for a few days. He never jumped on the counter again.

... which is why, if you look back at the first response, I told him immediately that the answer was to get rid of the cats. LOL. Compppppletely useless animals. They chase rats. Yeah, we get it. Dogs chase rats too. There is absolutely no other reason to keep a cat domesticated. They're too stupid to even know their own name. Horrible pet, and you get the added bonus that they shit and piss on everything because they're too stupid to be housetrained.

The only real problem with that idea is that there is a real risk of shorting out the charger and starting a fire, or having a puddle of water in the kitchen create a life threatening situation. But the concept itself is tried and true.
One of the devices we carry is a product called ScatMat that does much the same thing. It has embeded wires in a flexible plastic mat. When it detects contact with the mat, it briefly pulses the wires with high-frequency electricity generated by a battery. The effect is similar to those shock lighters, trick gum, etc. The shock frightens the crap out of you and "hurts" a lot, but doesn't actually cause pain or injury. With a skittish animal like a cat, once is usually all you need to keep them away for a LONG time. Here's a pic

Wow, you could not be more from the truth. My wife has a cat and it does not act like this at all. None of her cats did. Cats shit and piss in litter boxes when inside, it's practically instinct (but not really) unless the cat has another issue, it will shit or piss outside the box. Our cat shits and piss's in the box and knows to do it, it also knows its name and the words tuna fish! LOL!!!
He never eats his own shit like a few dogs I know do.

They're smart enough to know they don't have to come when you call them by it. Or do what you tell them to.
Meanwhile, others worship the "ideal" dog - the one which obeys their every command - because they suffer from a weak ego, and need to have it fed by owning an animal slave which gives them unconditional love.
Oops - I meant, go Dig Dug.

Our cat Riley loves the jungle gym that is the arcade. He sleeps on my Moon Patrol.
And yeah, paw prints aren't such a pain to clean once in a while. Riley also will always use his litter box, and is a stickler for cleanliness.

Exactly. Trainable animals are obviously of lower intelligence. Cats are up there with the animal kingdom geniuses like jellyfish and dung beetles.
