Cat-magnet desk square

Lure a cat off the keyboard into a square beside the laptop

Cats cannot resist a square: in a 2021 citizen-science study, pet cats sat inside squares that were only an illusion, made of four notched circles, about as often as in real ones. This low tray uses that instinct to save your keyboard. Put it beside the laptop, and the cat that would have stretched across the keys settles into the square instead, still close to you and still in the warm. The textured floor stops it sliding.
