My cat peed directly into the keys of my Nord Electro 2 today, what's the best way to get it out of there?

Don't know, but after getting it cleaned, trow it (the cat) out of the window

I'll take your definitely broken NE2 and my girlfriend will take the cat
More seriously, unmount the NE2 so that you can access to the keybed.
Remove the keys (tutorial etc online you shall find).
If there is still qome liquid, sponge.
Clean everything with, at leat, a soft, damp cloth.
Leave and let it dry (mluahahaha).
Mount, test, enjoy, sendm e the clean NE2 and the cat
Anyone, correct me.

If it is still under warranty, you will probably void the warranty by opening it up yourself. To keep it, you will have to send it to an approved service agent.
I'm sure they will charge you though, I believe cat pee doesn't come under the things that are guaranteed by Clavia!

For the benefit of others in the forum, THIS NEEDS TO BE CLEANED RIGHT AWAY! ACIDS CAN QUICKLY DO DAMAGE TO CIRCUIT BOARD TRACES AND IF LEFT UNATTENDED LONG TERM MAY TURN YOUR NORD KEYBOARD INTO AN EXPENSIVE BOAT ANCHOR.
p.s. -- this is the 2nd cat pee case I've heard of; the only thing worse is vomit (had one of those cases!)

Working in a scientific environment with colleagues who are molecular biologists, I can confirm Pablo's affirmations that cat pee is almost as dangerous as nuclear weapons and Justin Beiber.

should've written "expensive RED boat anchor"
BTW, baking soda and water make nice mix for neutralizing acid residue
