I've been well & truly put in my place. Decided to do a bit more painting last night...I really should have known better.
Madame Le Cat (AKA Thatbloodycat) let it be known a while back that the human is to vacate the computer chair in the evenings so that she can sit there, but I disregarded that & tried to get a bit more done. Her first move was to swipe stuff off the desk; I moved her to the couch.
She came back. She climbed up the back of the chair & onto my shoulder - I can't be sure, but I suspect she was silenty (& no doubt, scornfully) critiquing the painting & her next move was to attempt to entwine herself around my neck. She slipped down onto the desk & had to be removed. Again.
Not a cat to give up, she returned again & lay down on the desk almost on the keyboard. I moved her to the top of Madame Le Dog's crate.
She came back. And went for a little walk around the desk, just checking. And then she spotted all those cords down on the floor behind the desk..down she jumped, ready to create chaos & mayhem.
It was at that point that I admitted defeat & gave up; I'm a technoklutz & have no idea where all those cords go or what they're for so can't risk her 'accidentally' unplugging anything.
I can never sit at the desk at night again; her majesty requires her chair...

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
