Every cat owner knows there is one thing that a cat can never resist: sitting on a keyboard when you’re working.

Whether you’re working on a laptop or a desktop there is something about you being hard at work that a cat cannot seem to resist.

Even when you try to do it quietly and in secret, it’s like they’ve got a radar for when you’re on your computer.

In the TikTok, a cat owner shows off their clever solution. It’s basically using an alternative keyboard or laptop to pull a fast one on your cat. This creative takeout can be achieved through various ways, but the whole point is that you trick your cat into thinking that the laptop or keyboard that they’re sitting on is interfering with your work.

Essentially, you’re distracting the distractor. Pretty clever, right? Oh, how the tables have turned for our cats.

Hopefully they won’t catch on!
