Tell that to the fur ball who’s snoozing on my arm and interfering with the keyboard all morning.
Our tuxedo cat starts by jumping up on the desk and rubbing against the monitor, turning it so it's hard to see (darn LCDs are too light, that would never happen with a CRT). Next he drapes himself on my mouse. If my hand is on the mouse, all the better. Then he rolls over and covers half the keyboard.
With regard to notebooks, they are to lay on and provide warmth. If the lid is open, he can turn off the wifi, enable the numeric keypad, check for updates and turn it off. The last one makes him angry as he loses the warmth as the thing cools down.
OhOh - here he comes now!
