Cat trained to help install software, bypass EULAs

We've all seen them, but most people never take the time to stop and read end-user license agreements: you know, those long blocks of tiny text that you see when installing a new piece of software. We tend to just click past the message and get on with using the product. While the courts have wavered on the validity of "shrink-wrap" EULAs, the kind on a software package that says you agree to it by just opening the box, these kind of "click-through" agreements are generally considered more enforceable. One user came up with a clever work-around, though of dubious legal merit, coaxing her cat into making the agreements for her.
