Windows 10: Key combos that worked just 4 days ago stopped working after my cat walked over my keyboard.

This is not the first time its happened, but I don't recall exactly how I fixed it.last time it was W and 1, that would not act at the same time. this is inconvenient for a gamer.this time A will not input with alt or space, and S will not input with space. space, alt, A, and S otherwise all work normally.again, all of these worked fine just a few days ago. there is a key combo somewhere that disables these, but I'm not sure what it is.the keyboard is a KU1228 HP keyboard, if that is at all helpful.I am running Windows 10, home version.

random keyboard keys stop working?

i went out today and everything was fine, i come home and three random keys stopped working, maybe more i havent noticed yet. the three key on the left side of the keyboard not working, the left shift stopped working, and the enter key stopped working, but the one on the numpad works fine. no one was home to use it, nothing spilled on it, i tried it on another computer and same deal. im gonna go buy a new one tomorrow but it makes me sad cause i loved this keyboard lol, microsoft ergonomic 4000. ill probably buy the same exact one if its in stock tomorrow, this one lasted or 4 years about. im just confused why three random keys spread out stopped working at the same time...seems very weird

Cat walked on keyboard, now audio isn't working

Earlier today one of my cats walked on top of my keyboard, and now the audio won't work for anything. I tried using a different browser, which didn't work. I also followed other Microsoft help guides, but they didn't do anything. The settings all say that the audio is turned up and working, so I'm not sure what happened.
