This happens all the time and I just dont know what to do. I just sit there until she leaves. OMG, she is actually coming back right now... typing turbo fast.

The kitty decides when it is time to pet the kitty, and it is clearly time to pet the kitty.

Unless you're willing to give the cat some negative reinforcement, the harassment will continue.

Hah....my dog won't let me use the laptop. He's always insisting on playing ball. I can usually get him to focus on my feet, freeing up my hands. Obviously cats aren't usually as simple to distract as a dog. Good luck.

Very simple.

Flip kitty upside down.

While obnoxiously blurting, "That is a mean ole kitty. Sure is. A MEAN OLLLLEE KITTYYYYYY." Briskly tickle the kitty's belly.

Return to the task at hand.
