My cat broke the F5 button off my keyboard. He was standing on my computer when I touched the wrong thing on my phone and it started playing some video loudly. He spooked and ran, breaking off a key I almost never use. This joins my broken J key that my other cat broke a year or two ago when laying across my computer and stretching, catching a claw on the key and pulling. I got J mostly reattached.

Both keys I almost never use. The computer is nine years old so it's hard to be too fussed. I need to figure out how to snap the F5 key back on. I can see it's partially broken, but I think what's left will stick if I can figure it out.
