Okay friends, let me just say this—I cannot be the only one whose cat turns into a furry office supervisor the second I open my laptop 😂. I sit down to work, and like clockwork, there's my cat sprawled across the keyboard like it's a personal throne.

Why? What is it about the keyboard that's so irresistible to them?

Let's break it down, because once I did a little digging (and personal testing), it all started to make way more sense.

Reason 1: It's Warm and Cozy

Laptops get warm. Cats love warm. That's a pretty solid combo, right? 😼 Keyboards are like little heated tiles to them, especially when the laptop's been on for a while. If I were a cat, I'd probably sit there too.

But the warmth is just the start of the story…

Reason 2: They Want Attention

This one hits home. Every time I ignore my cat for longer than five minutes (a crime, apparently), she suddenly has to sit where my hands go. It's their way of saying, "Hey! Eyes off the screen, back on me!" Cats are clever like that—they know the keyboard is the center of your focus, so they plop themselves right in the way.

Reason 3: Your Keyboard Smells Like You

Cats are super into scent. Our fingers are always on the keys, which means the keyboard ends up carrying our smell. For a cat, laying on it is kind of like cuddling with us—even if we're not paying attention at the moment 🥹.

Reason 4: They're Marking Their Territory

Yup. By sitting on your keyboard, they're claiming it (and you) as theirs. Cats have scent glands in their paws, so every time they press those keys, they're leaving their little scent stamp like, "This is mine now."

Reason 5: They Want to Be Where You Are

Cats might seem independent, but deep down? They love being close to us. If you're working, they want to be right there with you—even if that means blocking your entire screen while you're in a Zoom call 🙃.

Final Thoughts—It's All Love (and a Little Chaos)

So the next time your cat decides your keyboard is a luxury cat bed, just know: they're warm, they love you, and they definitely want your attention. Sure, it's mildly annoying when you lose half your unsaved work, but honestly… it's also kind of adorable 💻🐾.

Now tell me—does your cat have a keyboard obsession too? Or are they more of a "sit directly on the book you're reading" kind of feline? Let's swap cat stories below! 😺📚
