Cats love being the center of dear owner’s attention, and will often go to great lengths to ensure they get it. However, they face competition against the phones and computers with which we interact with increasing frequency, and so they fight back in the only way they know how. Plonking themselves down, directly on that damn keyboard!
What to do in this case? Well, the best answer would be to get off the net and hang out with your feline friend. But, as we all know, work must be done and sometimes that just isn’t an option. So this cat lover from Japan started a viral Twitter thread about how to protect your PC from furry interlopers, while still keeping them content and entertained at the same time. Turns out that this is a very popular subject! Scroll down below to check it out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    There is no such thing in this world as CAT BARRIER. Hoomans must serve as loyal servants of cats and only act as guidelines defined in catbook. Any such act described in above post will be considered as defiance and you will marked as traitor of cat dynasty and will be doomed forever! May CAT bless you! Amen!

    You can usually solve this problem by putting a box on your desk for kitty to lay in.

    I put a box next to my computer and laptop. Cat loves it. When he's being a bad boy I put bird videos on the wall mounted TV.

    I've found picking my cat up off the keyboard works pretty good. Occasionally if I'm feeling evil I'll go to the kitchen and run the can opener. There's usually a payback for that one though.

    I love how cats always look somewhere else, playing it cool, jut not make eye contact and think nobody will make them leave :D

    just place a small heating pad (set on low) next to your computer. Best of both worlds, cat nearby and not on your keypad.
