Why Cats Sit on Keyboards

Cat Blocking Computer

Cat Proof Setup

This is not accidental. It’s a multi-objective optimization problem.

Why Keyboards Are Irresistible:

Heat

Laptops are warm.

Height

Desks are prime territory.

Scent

Your hands leave a strong, familiar smell on the keyboard.

Attention Hijack

You’re staring at the screen instead of them. Unacceptable.

Territory Claim

Sitting = owning. This is cat law.

Interactive Surface

Keyboards respond when stepped on, which convinces the cat it is a high-leverage control surface.


Cat logic:

“You appear absorbed. I will insert myself directly into the control system.”
