[OS X] Cat messed up Mac Mini display

I have a cat that has a habit of jumping on the keyboard of the Mac Mini and today he somehow entered a key command that zoomed in the display to the point of becoming unusable. I can't even see the settings to reset the display.

When the computer is first turned on, it displays properly but when mom logs into her account on OS X, this nonsense kicks in.

I think it could be some universal access thing. If I can't fix this, then I'm taking it to the genius bar at my local Apple Store.

Pressing option and command with the plus or minus keys will zoom the entire display.

Or just hold down control and then scroll, up for zoom in and down to zoom out.

Pressing Command+Option+8 will also turn Zoom off completely, if you prefer.

Did the Command+Option+8 and that solved the problem. Thank you for the help.
