A black dialog box is appearing in the foreground on my screen and it tells me what I'm doing such as "firefox has new window", "close button", etc.  I think my cat sat on my computer (she does this when I forget to close it) and pressed a combination of keys to make this appear.  It is accompanied by smaller black boxes elsewhere on the screen.  As of now, the smaller box is for the "close button".  How can I disable this function?

You should be able to press and hold CMD FN and F5 to turn it off.

Alternatively, look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing tab > voiceover off

Lmao, my cat also did this.

Thanks for the tip!

Oh THANK YOU!! My cat did the same thing and it was driving me nuts!!!

Oh my God, my cat did this exact same thing just this morning, which is how I found this thread - it's hilarious how many other people also have cat-on-keyboard issues! Nothing hoses your set-up like a cat randomly marching all over the keyboard.... thanks!

Thank you that worked.

Thank you for posting the solution!!!
