You can't stop it. It's evolution in action!
Five thousand years ago an enterprising Felis sylvestris lybicus came out of the desert to hunt the rodents that were infesting some Egyptian farmer's grainery. The farmer, depressed at his inability to keep his grain free of rodent droppings, was sitting at his breakfast table perusing the help wanted ads in his morning newspapyrus. He'd decided that agriculture was just one of those good ideas that wasn't going to work out, and he was looking for a job as a nomadic hunter-gatherer.
The F.s.lybicus saw the farmer sitting there, and she saw that the the grainery was locked. She leaped up onto his table and sat on his papyrus, her way of telling him to forget about the help wanted ads, get to back work and open the grainery so she could hunt the rodents within.
He did, she did, agriculture became practical, civilization was born, and that clever F.s.lybicus became the founding mother of a new species, Felis cattus, the kitty we love and admire today.
Ever since, cats have sat and sprawled on papyrus scrolls, books, newspapers and magazines as their way of displaying their domestication. Now modern cats have expanded this deeply instinctive behavior to include sitting and sprawling on keyboards and standing in front of computer screens.
You can't stop it. Five thousand years of kitty genetics are working against you!
A difficult situation. You love your cat and likewise so it's hard for both. Maybe you might feel better if you encourage her with a treat this way you won't feel guilty. Try it?
COMPUTER PROBLEMS?
Take your cat out of the room
DUR DUR DUR
Ever heard of catnip.try it and your cat won't even know you are there..
Tab her.
Well according pets and computers again : what you should do is gently pick up cat and say" this is an no no kitty" tell her it plus she must be put out side until done
One of my cats used to sit on my lap when I was using the computer. He was a pretty big cat and kinda heavy. I would give anything to have him on my lap again!
