Before computers, cats enjoyed sprawling across any book or magazine you were trying to read. Still do, actually. Or any board game that you’re trying to play.
As I recall, back when I used a typewriter, they would stay off the keyboard for that, probably because it was not at a comfortable angle. But they would sometimes bat at the carriage as it went back and forth.
Not owning a cat, or being owned by a cat, as it may be, I wonder if that behavior is attention seeking or perhaps a warm place to nap because of the heat of the laptop?
My computer desk has a shelf that slides in and out for the keyboard so my little girl Coco couldn’t lay on it, but what she like to do was jump on my desk and bat at my mouse with her tail if I didn’t start petting her right away. Boy do I miss her and my little buddy Peanut, ex husband has them.

Turns out laptop keyboards make good pillows.

Garfield has found the key(s) to his comfort.
Too bad his comfort comes at Jon’s expense.

Why I don’t think I could abide having a cat at the house…

Garfield just needed to get warm.

So nice of humans to provide such comfort.

I put a heating pad on my desk and turn it on when my cat jumps up. Took a little convincing, but now I have my laptop back!!!

Garfield, Jon might be typing out a grocery list on his laptop. How can he finish it with you laying on the keys?

Lying on a laptop is KEY to success.
It allows an ESC, to get some SPACE, and to retake CTRL of life.
I’m sorry.

While you’re standing there, Jon, rub my tummy, too.

Yep, cats love a warm laptop keyboard.

Presumably the alternative would’ve been whatever book/newspaper Jon was reading at the time

I would think after 45 years, that would be the least of Garfield’s problem.

It’s warm; it’s annoying. What more could a cat want?

Computers get very warm if used after about an hour. Just be careful not to get too radiated.
