So, my cat has recently developed this hilarious habit of plopping down right on top of my laptop keyboard whenever I sit down to work. It's like she knows exactly when I'm about to get productive and thinks, "Nope, you need a cuddle break!" It’s both adorable and a tiny bit frustrating because she ends up closing windows or typing random gibberish.

What cracks me up is the way she stretches out, making herself as comfy as possible, sometimes even purring loudly like she’s claiming the laptop as her throne. Despite the minor tech chaos, it’s hard to get annoyed when she looks at you with those big, innocent eyes.

Has anyone else experienced this? How do you gently reclaim your workspace without upsetting your furry supervisor? Would love to hear your funny or clever solutions!

Oh, your cat sounds like she’s mastered the art of the perfect productivity interruption! My own kitty does the exact same thing - she seems to have an internal radar for when the keyboard lights up and immediately decides it’s time for her royal nap. I’ve tried gently moving her to a cozy blanket nearby, which works sometimes, but honestly, those big eyes and purring make it tough to be firm.

One trick that helped me was setting up a little “cat zone” right next to my laptop with some treats and a soft bed. It’s like giving her a VIP spot that’s still close enough to supervise but off the keys. Not foolproof, but it’s saved me from a few accidental emails full of gibberish! Definitely a cute challenge of working from home life.

Oh man, your cat sounds like she’s mastered the art of the perfect productivity sabotage! My own feline does the same thing, but she’s partial to sprawling across any paper or notebook I pull out instead of the keyboard. It’s like they have a sixth sense for when we’re about to focus and decide it’s cuddle time instead.

One trick I found helpful is setting up a cozy “cat command center” nearby with a soft blanket and a little toy. It doesn’t always work, but sometimes she’ll settle there instead of on the laptop. Also, a gentle but consistent move-off, followed by immediate petting elsewhere, can help them learn the laptop isn’t prime real estate. Still, those big innocent eyes make it impossible to stay mad for long!

Oh man, your cat sounds like she’s got the perfect strategy for interrupting work! My old tabby used to do the same thing - always right on the keyboard, like she was trying to help but mostly just causing chaos. I found that setting up a cozy little bed or blanket just next to the laptop helped redirect her attention without making her feel left out. Sometimes I’d even put a warm heating pad under it to mimic the laptop’s warmth, and that seemed to do the trick.

Also, I totally get the “random gibberish” typing - my cat once somehow managed to send a half-finished email to a coworker. Definitely a moment of panic mixed with laughter! It’s sweet how they claim our workspaces as their own little kingdoms. Sounds like your furry supervisor has you well trained already!
