I think you can get a life-size, human fist and forearm, made of silicon, (can't remember where I've seen them). Maybe you could microwave one of those for 30 seconds and put it in a shirt, might get an hour or two of respite.
Hmm... a decoy.
Sometimes I try to move the mouse really slowly so I don't wake him. I think the easiest setup would be a second mouse or touchpad I can use with my left hand.
You could probably do what the lap cat people do and just stuff a glove and shirt sleeve as a decoy. (They stuff a pair of pants, Iโve done that and it works well until they wise up so use sparingly!)
As long as itโs in the right place, itโll probably work. For a bit. Might need a decoy mouse attached to it - have any old dead ones?
Unless what the cat wants is those slight movements and the โaww cmonโ instant attention it gives :)
