I swear one of my cats knows when I'm IM'ing with Sue and will walk on the keyboard just to say "hello"!
The funniest time once was when I had my cell phone on the sofa next to me. Apparently when my cat hopped up he pressed the speed dial for my parents. All of a sudden I hear my Mom saying "hello" ... "hello?". She got a hoot out of my cat calling her 
I've always been afraid he'll one day call Ukraine or something!

When our son was a toddler (or maybe in the 3-4 y/o range, I forget) he got hold of one of the phones we had on a desk. He was randomly punching buttons, including the one labeled 'emergency' that was preprogrammed to dial 911.
My wife and I each thought the other was watching him at the time. Oops! He apparently dialed 911, then hung up. Then did it again later and hung up ...
After several calls the 911 dispatcher called us and asked if there was a problem.

last week. One of the wife's cats got into my electronics room (converted bedroom) and I caught him walking all over the keyboard of one of the computer that was up, but not on line. The PC went crazy, but luckly after some restarts and screwing around was able to get it back to normal.
No, I won't be paying for that 'cat' program, but keeping the door closed, or watching when they get in.
