I am suddenly seeing a black dialog box that tells me everything I'm doing. Where did this come from and how do I make it go away?

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?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.5)
