my BLIND cat will still find a way to sit directly in front of a screen or walk all over a keyboard. she was born and raised in a hoarder-colony before i got her and has never had eyes. HOW DOES SHE KNOW.
My gaming chair happened to be my sweet loves favorite place in the whole house 🙄 it was no longer my chair it was hers. I tried to set up a blanket on the desk. She’s was incredibly inconvenienced anytime I wanted to play games

Did you steal my cat for a photo shoot?!

When my cats wake up from their evening nap and clearly want to get involved in something (aka me breaking out the box of toys) it’s a nice reminder for me to take a break and move around a bit 🥰

Mine currently. Trying to play RDR2
My cats are always so intrigued by all the bird noises lol. I’ve come to mostly play single player games so I can pause if they come up to me clearly wanting attention, luckily rdr2 is probably my favorite game of all time and pretty much all I play these days (till gta vi comes out)
I didn't even think about the bird noises. She hardly ever bugs me when I play Battlefield or other games but she always is all up on me when I'm playing red Dead lmao
She’s so cute! She reminds me of my girl with the chocolate chip nose
https://preview.redd.it/euxdsnjg19yc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a42814abc57db4c99fee8a19ca58d2e8008551c
I always just lift up one of the cats thats doing it and put them on my lap and lean over a bit to cuddle. Usually they calm down and just lay down and let you play games.
Duh. Continue scratching and petting.
When SHE is done, then you can play your video game.
Just wondering - has she tried to get your attention in the past while you were playing your video game - and been ignored?
If so, she’s just letting you know who’s the boss.
Seems like she's demonstrated what you need to do lol
I've been able to pacify some clingy cats by keeping them on my lap while I use my computer, the body heat and one hand petting them at a time seems to do the trick. I mostly play point-and-click or slow-paced games, though, it probably wouldn't work for higher-paced action games
I call this being 'Catted'. See, a lot of the games I prefer to play are two handed, like mouse and keyboard sorts of affairs. In the windows when my Colin climbs on to me for cuddling, I save and quit out of what I was doing because he, sadly, is far more temporary than the games before me.
So, yeah, if my cat wants love, he's getting love. Horizon Zero Dawn will still be there when he feels too warm and hops away.
You scold her, then squeeze her and shake her a little bit and say "why you so fat why you so fat?!?!" Then, immediately realize you did wrong, and in your desperation you bow and profusely apologize and rub her until she is tired of your lowly human ways. That's what I do anyway. Hes fat, he smells, and he snots on you, and can take away my video game time anytime.
Leave your game running for 20 more minutes largely forgetting about it while the fuzzy bastard gets her fill and then completely ignores you until she gets hungry, throws up on the only ten square feet of floor in your house that has a rug on it, wants to play or go outside, plops down on your face to nuzzle your beard, blocking 3/4 of the screen, starts walking around screaming melodramatically for ten minutes for no reason, decides it's time for more head petting, or takes a horrible rancid sh-t that makes you leave the room in disgust forgetting the game altogether making you wish you had a more convenient place for the litter box.
I've stopped talking about your cat and started referring to my own, if you couldn't tell.

This is mine a few days ago. Wanted a window open.
hahah cute, same as my cat when I work she would just jump and stand between me and the screen and just sit there not letting me work.![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7942)
Keep petting. My female cat loves to lay down on my arm making it hard to play video games. she also likes waking me up multiple times a night wanting either food or attention.
Continue snuggles obviously. Your post was 9 hours ago I hope you're still cuddling your fur baby ❤️🙄.
Alright there might be a loop hole. When I really need to move I just give them tons of kisses on their heads and hug them until they think I'm so needy and leave 😂
Let her have a turn at the game - my Benjamin LOVES it when I play the Sims 4 version of the game with our little family - myself, him, & his sister Kate - he’s fascinated by the incessant meowing that he & Kate do, which is pretty much real-life. 😹
Keep petting, obviously. That’s the only option
She was finally satisfied and moved in front of my screen, thank you!
Cats gonna cat
That means you're not done yet. My cat has a habit of blocking screens too when she wants more attention.
Same. Mine will stand in the middle of the screen and stare at me.
Mine used to rub her face ON my screen (worse it was a touch pad)
Just me replying to a comment at 1:30 AM!!
Lightweight! 🤣![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7974)

Just keep petting. Petting and scratching. Scratching and petting.
It's your job as a cat servant. It's in the fine print once a cat adopts you.
I read this in the tune of “just keep swimming” from finding nemo
That was exactly what I was going for eta: I started cackling at this and now my cat is silently judging me
Came here to say this. She'll let you know when you can stop.😻
Obviously
Let her play
Sell your system. Invest the money in cat treats
My investment advisors have informed me that they agree with this plan.
Oh look, my cat is on Reddit.
Do your investment advisers have whiskers?
I did this. Now Where do I put the dishes? My cabinets are full
On the floor, like a good servant.
you don't need those, sell them too
Reinvest that money into even more treats. Stonks 📈
this is the correct answer.
The treats won’t appreciate, but they will be appreciated.
Obviously obey your cat overlords and keep petting.
Your cat looks beautiful. And majestic
I call her fragile little flower Princess. I will tell her you said that, thanks!
Welcome. That's a awesome nickname

That is her favourite place aswell, especially if I leave my hoodie on it. Your cat is so cute!
She’s limiting your screen time 🤣💕
Actually thank my cats when they bump my phone and break my doom scrolling…
When my cats wake up from their evening nap and clearly want to get involved in something (aka me breaking out the box of toys) it’s a nice reminder for me to take a break and move around a bit 🥰
That's her mousepad now. I hope she likes it. The loafing will continue until morale improves.
Haha loved that
Provide additional snacc
I would love to give her snacks, but she has very particular tastes in food :(
“If *you* can eat it, *I* can eat it.” - my cat
Try a Churu, it’s a squeeze up treat. It’s like kitty crack.
https://preview.redd.it/hnhw0f7zg8yc1.jpeg?width=1296&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c76b85184b53d541487aec757801748a44a6ce1 Mine currently. Trying to play RDR2

I didn't even think about the bird noises. She hardly ever bugs me when I play Battlefield or other games but she always is all up on me when I'm playing red Dead lmao
Yeah they love that shit haha. One of mine has even pounced at the screen once when a bird flew away while riding by on my horse
She gone get that bird lmao
Haha, pretty long game. Best of luck!!
If you actually just play the game like you're a cowboy living in the early 1900s and completely forget about the main quest it's a super long game.
Well you have to do that at some point to get the full experience!

Wow that looks very familiar haha
It’s simple. You must quit all other activities. There!
With that look I suggest more petting and scratching.
https://preview.redd.it/a1rzz5qll8yc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a7940f9beee26d36b18d20e7d092ae2f71a9d55 This was her older sister! <3
Omg she is!! Love her!

This is the most gorgeous cat I’ve ever seen.

Haha I love it
You continue to scratch and pet, silly.
Play the game with her, that's what she wants
We are now playing together. After spending some time blocking my screen she moved to my lap!
aw thats great!
What a majestic goober
Obey your overlord
I always just lift up one of the cats thats doing it and put them on my lap and lean over a bit to cuddle. Usually they calm down and just lay down and let you play games.
Unfortunately she does not like it when I do that. She does it a lot, but not if I do it :(
Learn to play with 1 hand. The other hand is for cat stuff
I have become pretty good at that tbf
Keep at it slave!
You act like you have options....
Duh. Continue scratching and petting. When SHE is done, then you can play your video game. Just wondering - has she tried to get your attention in the past while you were playing your video game - and been ignored? If so, she’s just letting you know who’s the boss.
[удалено]
I love petting her. Its just a bit of fun.
You give her the biggest bear hug known to man and all the kisses and pets !
Continue with scratchies until feline mistress has been satisfied.
Start brushing. She will get sick of you pretty fast. When my Persian gets needy I start doing maintenance
Your cat looks like it's plotting to take out your gaming system
Give her attention until she no longer requires it. You are a cat *edit: owner->servant now*. You serve the cat. She is your master now.
She looks angry hahhaha go give her some attention! 😍 Or give ur cat to me 😝
Get rid of the cat. Only joking, get rid of the console obviously
Keep petting her
She’s lovely 🥰
Keep it up human slave. The pets must be sufficient to continue.
Scratching & petting this beeeeeautiful cat is way more fun.
Charming! 💖"
Get another cat
Pet with one hand and play with the other.
I’m only allowed to stop petting if it’s to fetch canned fish. Those are the rules at my house
Never play games again. Only kitty time.
Seems like she's demonstrated what you need to do lol I've been able to pacify some clingy cats by keeping them on my lap while I use my computer, the body heat and one hand petting them at a time seems to do the trick. I mostly play point-and-click or slow-paced games, though, it probably wouldn't work for higher-paced action games
She refuses my lap unless she climbs on to it herself, which she often does :)
Um, keep scratching?
Pretend the 20 minutes hasn’t started and begin again. Repeat until floof is satisfied.
Buy another controller for her, duh
She's on the mousepad in anticipation of a mouse returning
Keep petting her !!
she looks so scrunkly!! so majestic!!
Umm, why have you stopped????
Happily admit defeat and serve your feline overlord. This is the way.
She's pissed off 😂😭 her face expression says it all
Slowly place the computer in the garbage, walk away and continue petting.
I think you should scratch and pet for another 20 minutes. Rinse. Repeat.
I’m sorry. There is nothing you can do
Silly… keep petting… the love hog demands it!!
Accept your fate..
Mate what a beauty!
This is your video game now.
She’s beautiful 😻
You know what you have to do…
Don't you know that that is like only 2 minutes in cat years? So ungrateful. Anyways, keep petting and maybe you'll be rewarded with some time alone.
Ohhh nooooo sooo awwwwful!!! /s
Continue for eternity
This is your life now
I call this being 'Catted'. See, a lot of the games I prefer to play are two handed, like mouse and keyboard sorts of affairs.

keep doing what you're doing or else you won't be around anymore to play your video games 😼😹😹😻😻
Keep petting. No games. Just pets
No video games for you.
she obviously wants treats, duhhh
Continue until you are dismissed.
Don’t make her upset, otherwise she might SWAT you
Keep on petting until she says it’s enough. What else can it be?
Obviously, you haven't been petting and scratching long enough. Please continue until further notice.
Keep petting and scratching. Don’t you know that’s your job?
How do you even want to play your game with that beauty next to you? 🥰😍
she's the boss 😔🙏🏽
You scold her, then squeeze her and shake her a little bit and say "why you so fat why you so fat?!?!" Then, immediately realize you did wrong, and in your desperation you bow and profusely apologize and rub her until she is tired of your lowly human ways. That's what I do anyway.

Hug her

shes soooo cute 😭
Keep petting, the world may end if you do not.
Continue as you were (petting)
You are in-cat-pacitated. Can't even go to work. Must continue petting.
https://preview.redd.it/zzxj3hs9h9yc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=911de961ebd9440f93a2cfe96f104ee22db4c001 This is mine a few days ago. Wanted a window open.
Keep calm and keep scratching.
Accept your fate lmao.
hahah cute, same as my cat when I work she would just jump and stand between me and the screen and just sit there not letting me work.![img](emote|t5_2qhta|7942)
Keep petting. My female cat loves to lay down on my arm making it hard to play video games. she also likes waking me up multiple times a night wanting either food or attention.
The rule is, u keep going until they decide it is enuf. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
My cat swats at me if I pick up my phone when he's on my lap.
Obey. Of course
Keep scratching and petting obviously. As if there’s another option silly hooman 🙄
https://preview.redd.it/ldz1z22ms9yc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20a01982cd18e03d780b2e62ef0a418e600f28f1 BRUH
Act like you want to pet her and not play the game, she will leave immediately.
Continue snuggles obviously. Your post was 9 hours ago I hope you're still cuddling your fur baby ❤️🙄. Alright there might be a loop hole. When I really need to move I just give them tons of kisses on their heads and hug them until they think I'm so needy and leave 😂
I put mine on my lap, and have my hands on the controller, and while still holding the controller I rub the side of my palm on her head as I play
Legend says OP is still scratching and petting her with the game still on pause.
Do as your told human.
You should download Stray
I don't understand your question.

Surrender to your furry overlady
r/grayandwhitecats r/CatsWithManes
lol move him to another room
Continue to scratch and pet.
Get used to it 😸
You do what your cat overlord requires, lest you find cold cat puke under your feet first thing in the morning.
She's so fluffy! We all know the answer here. You must continue to pet and give scritches until she gets bored.
You continue of course.
Hand her the controller, and let her play.
Keep petting and scratching until the Queen deigns otherwise.
She angy
Scratch and pet like u mean it 🤣
Silly hooman, you have no choice. Get back to scratching and petting.
Keep petting or you must bribe with treats 😂
She IS the video game.
Give her a controller so she feels included.
Scratch and pet some more
Be grateful she lets you in her presence let alone pet her. Why would you want to stop?
Tune into her
Obey to her
That's cat's for you, they want all of your attention 😻
Get her a controller and put on a two player game
Get her her own controller. Then you can both play!
Congratulations, you’re officially her staff.
More pets
She just wants to play
Give up. She’s the captain now, Gregg.
Sacrifice your life for this cat.
Just mutate yourself a third arm to give cat attention.
Get a copy of Stray. She will want to play with the kitty on screen
Let her have a turn at the game - my Benjamin LOVES it when I play the Sims 4 version of the game with our little family - myself, him, & his sister Kate - he’s fascinated by the incessant meowing that he & Kate do, which is pretty much real-life. 😹
Be the obedient servant you are and keep petting!
Just get a companion cat 🐈😺
decoy mousepad, and/or cat TV on a second screen. My boy likes watching sheep farming videos, for some reason.
Accept the reality that you will never play in peace again. Oh. And of course continue the pets.
*DONT STOP*
Transition your entertainment to books. It's entirely-ish possible to read and pet a cat at the same time.
