Does your cat ever stand in front of your computer screen when you're working?

Sometimes my big cat, (Big Man) will jump up on my computer desk and stand directly in front of my computer screen so that I have to stop working. I know he's doing it, because he wants something. But, I provide him with plenty of stuff. What more could he want? He doesn't like to be cuddled? Maybe he wants more food? It's a mystery to me. So, I guess my question is this. Does your cat do weird things to get your attention, like step on you while you're working? Knock your coffee into your lap? Or, stand in front of your computer screen? Or purposely zip around the house like a maniac until you get up and do something for them? Please share.

lovely cat playing with the computer - cats are also interested in playing with the computer when they see their masters next to it.
Hello dear beauty queen. I think that the cat of yours wants to attract your attention to him so that he might have someone to play with or he might be curious about what mylot is when you are mylotting before your computer. hehe. What a cute cat you have! Love it.

Yep! That sounds about right! He is a very modern cat. I wish I had a pic to post of him and my other two cat cuties.

No, but when we had a box computer monitor 1 of our cats would sit on top of the monitor and try to catch the cursor that was moving around.

That's too funny! My cat has never done that. I think he's using the monitor blocking technique to manipulate me. He's pretty smart. And, he's a mama's boy!

Our dogs like to stand in front of our big screen when we watch movies. I figure they think they are getting attention!

Morgana loves doing this. She will wait till I'm right in the middle of typing and then she will want to be cuddled, petted and paid attention to. I stick to only water bottles with lids unless I'm holding the cup at all times b/c she loves to stick her foot in the cup and tip it over...not a good thing at the PC. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

My kitty used to jump up on the computer desk and chase the cursor all over the screen all the while standing on the keyboard and typing a bunch of stuff. She is really down right now though she is in a cast becuae my daughter accidentally shut her leg in the door and fractured it. So it will be awhile before she is back up here again typing and chasing arrows.
