It is extremely difficult to type with a small gray tabby cat sitting in front of one's monitor.

Just thought people might wish to know this.

My big tortie kitty likes to lie across my hands and keyboard. She seems confused when I complain about this.

And it's even harder with a big-hipped brown tabby in said position. I get those frequently.

Some time ago, I had a cat that would pop up between my hands and the keyboard, or who would climb on top of the monitor (old small-tube CRT), hang over the top, and bat at the cursor.

No, it's perfectly easy to type with a cat sitting in front of the monitor.

It's just impossible to read what you've typed.

What you need is the GE Transparent Cat!

Try a very fluffy *black* 10-pound Maine Coon cat ;)

She also likes to lie across my wrists and fall asleep, which is actually OK if I'm reading or typing (minimal hand movement). But I wake her up every time I reach for the mouse. Eventually she gets huffy and goes over to sleep on the cat-bed next to the window.

You say it's "extremely difficult to type with a small gray tabby cat sitting in front of one's monitor".

Well, it's even more difficult when they want to "help".
