Why Cats Sit on Keyboards
✦



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.”
