That is exactly what I am facing at the moment from Sonic and Jakey - they both try to get between keyboard and monitor, then they start rolling around, and before I know it there are legs all over the keyboard.
I've never had a sleep on the computer episode, but thankfully Missy seems to have gotten over her habit of a few months back, where she sat next to the laptop and punched any hands which went anywhere near the keyboard or mousepad.

this is Lester's comfy place to lay since the heatwave started.
and Esther
and for some reason I found luka had wrapped herself in one of my skirts overnight - God knows why since it isn't the least bit cold. But cute anyway.
and not forgetting Leia who has started waking Rich up at 4 am for snuggles - and she likes to get into his armpit and nibble him

Awwww
She does not! Not at all
Partner tries to brush her but she runs off hissing
We have to do a pincer movement to pick her up then one holds her whilst the other tries to get as many dreads off before the struggling, mewling and hissing and threat of injury begins!
She does try and groom herself but had lack of teeth.

I did wonder what the teeth situation was @ddraig,err, hesitate to ask this, but have you tried washing her ? May not be as suicidal as you think, we had to put Jess (rip) in a sink of blood temperature water a couple of times and she was absolutely fine. Against all expectations . How do you try a remove dreads, do you try and comb them out or cut them off ?

ahh poor skankyMoll, still sounds like she has a better home nowwe took her from someone else who was leaving the country and hadn't looked after her properly and she had to have loads of teeth out

. Our Jess was a filthy feline until she had her gingivitis addressed, by having lots of teeth out and having treatment and then she groomed like it was going out of fashion, and went all sparkly clean.

I load them up in to a syringe, wait till they sleep and sneak up on them. It takes them a moment to work out whats just happened and then they spend the next few hours looking thoroughly pissed off.

I think I may have already related the tale of the first time I used a spot-on flea/worm treatment. The leaflet said if it got into your eyes or mouth, to wash it out immediately and thoroughly - I scoffed at this and said "who would be stupid enough to put this in their eyes or mouth?" Put a blob on Sonic's neck, he shook his head - I was washing the stuff out of my eyes and mouth, that is who.

Finally got to stroke Rosa last night and now she's all strokes and headbuts when she wants food 
Frida and Karl I still can't pick up, they struggle out of my arms, and I think they still have no idea they can sit on my lap - I think Frida was never allowed to before so of course it's not something the kittens have learned to do either, but we'll get there, in the winter I'll leave the heating off and be the warmest thing in the house

This is not my cat.
But went in to the kitchen to find it munching away at the food bowl. So I went to find Odin and ask him what he thought he was doing letting his guard slip like this. Odin didn't seem bothered at all and took a few token bites next to it, before wondering off.
I'd leave them to it, but I know Katness would be pretty upset and it's not cool to feed other people's cats, although have been told by neighbours either side that Odin wonders in to theirs.

I read an article not long back that some people didn't want black cats/dogs because they don't look good in their selfies!
Eta. Found this, not the one I read but still
Black cats are for life - not just for selfies

Missy and the two next door coexist fairly well in their back yard. However, they go ape shit when she decides to explore in their house, as she's been prone to do when the windows or doors are left open.
I saw one of my regular walk-to-work cats this morning, but she seemed thoroughly disinterested in me, which is unprecedented. On closer inspection I saw she was busy dismembering the remains of a bird, and so didn't have time for me.

Just got back from the vet - nothing serious, Sonic gets some claw issues now he is old and has arthritis - they grow quicker and the outer layers don't get pulled off so he gets thick claws that get uncomfortable and I can't deal with - an appointment with the vet nurse for a pedicure a few times a year sorts it out. She only charged me £6 this time, sure it was £10 last time, but not complaining!
As usual he was very waily and very wriggly - but he's a sweet boy and doesn't even threaten to scratch or bite, just wriggles and cries a bit bless him.

Just back with Charlie from vet. Woke up this morning and her eye lid was swollen. Looks like she's knocked it. Administered some metacam a moment ago and I'm bite/scratch free. Next dose when she knows what's coming I may not get away with it.

Mine take metacam on their food ok, so that might be worth a go if you have the liquid one - give a small amount of wet that she likes with the dose of metacam on it.
Hope she feels better soon

could it have been a wasp/bee sting?

I saw something like that on the Yorkshire Vet, poor kitty with a bee sting in its eyelid - did wonder, but I don't know that many cats get stung there - I'd have thought paws or mouth more likely!
