Princess does not care that she is in my way. Or rather, that her tail is in my way. She sits on the printer and then she hangs her tail in front of the monitor, while she is looking out the window. Sometimes she curls it, sometimes she waves it, sometimes it just twitches. We put up with this, and then we put up with the invisible kitty act. She is black and curls up cozy in hubby's black desk chair. I believe she gets sat upon at least once a day.

Thanks for the laugh. I've never had a cat who liked the computer but our last cat went fishing in our fish tank, just for fun and snacks...

My niece had a cat that slept on the fish tank and occasionally fell in. The computer is warm and provides a perch to watch the birds outside. I had a cat that watched the fish tank and when the fish swam toward the end, she would put her paw up to try to stop them from coming out the end. . . which of course they did not.

Poor Princess! You'd think she'd get tired of being sat on!

I am not sure. We do not sit hard. Perhaps it just feels like a big old hug.

Yes, I think she is showing her love for hubby by claiming his chair. I know if I had flies she would shoo them away.

@Jessicalynnt I had one cat that would sit looking out the window and catch the flies that gathered there and pile them up.

Our fur babies sure know how to get our attention. Fifi always wants to sit on my lap when I pull out my iPad.

Besides liking the warmth of the printer, Princess enjoys the lamp as well.

Your Princess is indeed a princess working on being the queen. My Sonny James is also black. All 17 pounds fur and purr has been squatting on my lap lately, exactly when I am attempting to use the computer.

Princess has never been much of a lap cat, but she is a bed cat, computer cat, bathroom sink cat.

My cat had to always rub his head against the edge of the laptop screen. Sometimes he manages to turn it off!
