No, you didn’t guess if you thought it was from harm.
Cats are amazing and wayward creatures. You call them to caress, and they turn to you with not the most photogenic part of the body. They do not like closed doors, so they will remove the obstacle in any way, be it a tunnel or a psychological attack on the owners. They sit near you for a long time, and then abruptly take off, deciding that they have paid so much attention to you. And a working laptop becomes just a magnet for them. Why is this happening?
We bet you’ve noticed more than once that as soon as you sit down at your laptop, your cat immediately begins to loom on the horizon? He doesn’t care if you are working or just decided to watch the series in the evening, he will clearly indicate his presence – he will walk over the keyboard, start gnawing at the screen, or just settle down right in a warm place.
So what’s the deal? Why are cats so obsessed with this device?
“A lot of cats attack laptops because they want to be the center of attention,” explains Marilyn Krieger, Certified Cat Behavior Consultant and author of Naughty No More! Changing Unwanted Behaviors through Positive Reinforcement. – When they are looming next to the computer, then people start stroking them or talking to them. Therefore, the animal realizes that as soon as it is near the laptop, it will receive exactly what it wants – attention. “
If pet obsession becomes a problem and you have to kick your cat out of the room every time you decide to work on your laptop, then there is a solution. Just make sure your pet is well placed to be the center of your attention.
“You can beat this habit by giving your cat a comfortable place to sleep that is close to you. And don’t forget to pay attention to your pet when he decides to lie down on it, advises Krieger. “At the same time, discourage him from wallowing on the keyboard, making it difficult to access or inconvenient to lie down.”

Oh yeah! Every time we fight, who will get it.
Sometimes there is an unauthorized takeover, but I quickly stop it.
My pet prefers to lay on me right away.
No, I did not notice such a habit for a cat or a cat.
