Temporarily Disable Yoke?

I have a Logitech Flight Yoke System. My wife unfortunately has a stupid cat that jumps into my lap with no warning, which many times has pushed my yoke, causing my Longitude to plunge to the earth in a blaze of glory. I thought I remembered that toggling or disconnecting USB connections has caused CTDs, so I’d want to be careful of course, but is there some way that I can disable the yoke so it won’t cause a problem while I’m using the autopilot, then kick it back in when I need it?

If not, then that’ll just give me another reason to strangle the stupid cat, which actually wouldn’t be so bad.
