The cat approaches keyboards with the confidence of an entity that recognises no boundaries between its body and available horizontal surfaces. Studies indicate the average cat will position itself upon a keyboard within 4.7 minutes of human typing activity commencing, a response time that suggests evolutionary optimisation for maximum disruption.

Feline keyboard interactions produce distinctive output, typically consisting of extended strings of consonants interspersed with accidental application launches. Cats have been documented sending emails, initiating video calls, and in one notable case, ordering significant quantities of cat food through an unattended browser window. Their keyboard dominance is absolute if chaotic.

Cats did not build the internet but have colonised it with the efficiency of an invasive species entering an ecosystem with no natural predators. Cat content generates engagement metrics that would make any marketing professional weep with envy. The phrase 'I Can Has Cheezburger' launched an entire genre of communication.

From Grumpy Cat to Keyboard Cat, feline celebrities have achieved fame surpassing most human content creators. Cats appear in memes, reaction images, and streaming content with a frequency suggesting the internet exists primarily as a cat distribution network that occasionally handles other data.

Feline problem-solving follows strict protocols refined across millennia. When confronted with a closed door, the cat will vocalise, scratch, and wait. If these methods fail, the cat will simply wait longer, occasionally adding accusatory stares for emphasis. Problems not solvable through persistence and psychological warfare are reclassified as non-problems.

This approach, whilst limited in scope, proves remarkably effective within its domain. Cats rarely encounter bugs in their solutions because cats rarely attempt solutions requiring debugging. Their methodology prioritises reliability over ambition.

Cats have perfected sleep architecture across millions of years of evolutionary refinement. The typical cat sleeps 12 to 16 hours daily, distributed across multiple sessions timed to maximise both rest and human inconvenience. This polyphasic approach allows cats to achieve full alertness within seconds of detecting relevant stimuli, primarily food preparation sounds and closed doors.

Sleep location selection demonstrates sophisticated environmental awareness. Cats instinctively identify the warmest spots, the softest surfaces, and the locations most likely to obstruct human activity. Their sleep proves both highly efficient and strategically deployed.

Cats influence workplace productivity through mechanisms both supportive and destructive. Studies indicate that cat presence reduces stress hormones by up to 30%, improving focus and decision-making quality. Brief cat interaction provides cognitive breaks that enhance subsequent concentration.

Conversely, cats actively sabotage productive work through strategic keyboard occupation, demand vocalisation during important calls, and the occasional contribution of hairballs to sensitive equipment. The net productivity impact remains hotly debated amongst researchers who own cats and those sensible enough not to.
