So when I was making dinner, my cat sat down on my laptops keyboard and now it's not functioning like it should... Every time I press a button, there is this weird clicking sound and I have to wait a few seconds before I can type the same button twice. Please help me because it's really annoying! Thank you so much!!

Get your laptop keyboard replaced by the manufacturer or authorized dealer. Some repair centers have some weird gum for this keyboard key thing.
This happened to me too. (Although, mine was from a child not a cat.) I held the shift key down until it stopped making noises(there was a series of clicks and finally a beep) and then the keyboard worked perfectly.
For a classic desktop keyboard you will want to remove each key one by one, by gently prying up to remove it. Be gentle. Take a photo of the keyboard so you remember where the key go. Once the keys are all removed wipe out any dust, potato chip left overs and anything that could prevent the keyboard from working properly. This should resolve your issue. Also then be sure to add the keys back on.
I have done this for years. Usually some piece of something gets under a key and makes this noise.
