If I place him on my lap he'll immediately walk back onto my desk and lay down in his favorite spot. I can't get any work done; send help.

Edit: Sometimes in response I'll reciprocate by laying my head on him and listening to him purr while we snuggle; he's the perfect therapy cat I love him so much. powercry-1 meow-hug

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. soviet-hmm

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, Iโ€™ve done that and it works well until they wise up so use sparingly!)

As long as itโ€™s in the right place, itโ€™ll 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 โ€œaww cmonโ€ instant attention it gives :)
