Cats, while cute, can be incredibly annoying at times.  Especially when you're trying to get some work done at your computer.

Has your cat ever walked across your keyboard, or worse, just plopped down right on top of it?  I mean, I understand they want affection, but c'mon!!

Well, one thing you can try is a cat heating pad.  It's not just that they want attention from you.  Every cat owner knows how much cats love 'warm spots'.  They find the patch of sunshine, or the spot near an appliance that is always warm and toasty.  That's how cats roll.

One of the reasons they're hanging around your computer, keyboard included, is the warmth that is in the area.  The computer and monitor, in particular, generate heat that they love.

Using the heating pad, and keeping it near the computer, but out of the way, you can change the cat's preferred spot.  When they get on your desk or keyboard, pick them up, and set them on the heating pad (with it on and warm, obviously).  Repeat as needed, and eventually they will figure out that it's so nice and warm on the pad that they will prefer to go there first!
