What I Have Been Doing
Step 1: After they have raced around like madmen all morning, I notice that the kittens are finally sleeping peacefully on the futon. I sit down at my desk to work.
Step 2: A kitten smells me working and wakes up. It jumps up on my desk, purring like a motor.
Step 3: I laugh as the kitten is mesmerized by the bright movement on the screen, and pet it as it steps all over my keyboard wanting scritches.
Step 4: I resign myself to not working and move the kitten to the nearest comfy orange chair to give it all my attention.
Step 5: The kitten scrambles off my lap and runs away to poop.
Step 6: I sit back down at my desk to work, since the kitten clearly does not care about me anymore.
Step 7: The kitten jumps back up onto my desk.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
