Y'know, cable management issues aside (haters to the left, please, thank you) you could zush it up a little for cat. Something fluffy but still lets the heat happen maybe? Perhaps some ornamental catnip plant to the side?
Yeah I had to teach my cat to stay off my desk because this kept happening. He would not understand that the only thing he isn't supposed to touch is the keyboard. I'm building a little pedestal with a cat bed so he can stay near me when I'm on my PC
Mine usually don't go for the keyboard, because the laptop is just too comfortable. But when I want to work on just the laptop guess what happens all the time
