My cat is staring at me.
The laptop is in my lap and she wants to be.

1. I've found that if I stare just as intently at my cat
he'll look away ;)

3. Laptops are not actually supposed to be on the lap. They can't cool
properly that way. They need an air space underneath. Put it on a stand, a table or something, and let the cat get on your lap.
PS It's more fun.

4. I have a small lap table with ventilation.
It isn't *on* my lap, but on a fancy schmancy platform thingy.

The cat has given up - She is now carrying a sock around the apartment :)

5. He wants your lap
...or your soul.

One can never be sure with cats.

7. That may not be such a good sign
They do spend much of their time thinking carnivorous little thoughts...

8. She's just wondering when you'll be off the laptop so she can check her email.

9. Just be glad your cat isn't charging you
for the cat-scan.
