That happens here, too, but we keep that to a minimum by scheduling feline dinnertime right before human bedtime. Given the choice between eating and sleeping, they’ll almost always choose to vacate laps.
…Of course, the “owner” of the lap is thereby afflicted by the dire condition known as “Feline Paralysis”. Experts have determined that some cat staff members voluntarily contact this condition. A cure is being sought, but science holds out little hope.
I’m not sure a cure is actually being sought. Seems more like a way to attract grant funding without going to the trouble of, you know, actually working…
That is a risk, yes. Fortunately, Kokoro has a tendency to get up and go for a short walk if I even twitch a leg muscle. That gives me a chance to escape.
