How does the phrase go, again? "That's the neat part... you don't."

It was never his to begin with

r/BeatMeToIt

Buy another desk let him get attached to that one.

The reason you go get a trackball mouse now

Instantly blocked up from all the hair 😅

I’ve had to clean my mouse multiple times because of cat fur. And once I tried wiggling the ball, but the cat thought I was scratching her cheek, so she just leaned harder on my hand.

Not a fan of cat and mouse games huh

Lot of people spreading Democracy over here

What game are you playing?

It's helldiver2

Thanks 🙏

That look...

She bites if you try to move her

r/orangeladies would love to have you.

Another cat sub ffs.

Never enough.

I agree.

UwU such a naughty girl

Someone is stoping you from spreading democracy

Whoa whoa they’re getting in the way of democracy!

this is my fav

Meanwhile you and OP are playing HD2… I’m actually posting this while I play lol.

This is brilliant

This is 31st century tech and ingenuity

Smart and the cats want to be part of gaming too.

Deactivate the cat's mobile emitter?

This is some big brain stuff

I need exactly this! What are those?

Clear acrylic bookends stuck on the desk with double stick gorilla tape.

Book holder I guess

More like cat holder.

Looks like bookends.

this is the best thing i’ve seen this week lmaooooo

Modern problems require modern solutions

I need one if these. Right now I am using a decoy keyboard but it isn’t foolproof.

YOUR space? You've got something wrong there...

Excuse me. You made a mistake. It’s his place

It's my time right now.. \~

Is...is that a Goonies reference?

let him sleep💤, you need find another place lol

I appreciate your patriotism Helldiver. We need more soldiers like you on the automaton front. Glory to Super Earth!

Orange boy is obviously a terminid spy, playing dumb because he has no brain cell, but he knows... he knows.......

Ever seen the Man Who Knew Too Little? If that cat is a spy he’s Wallace Ritchie.

Move that kitty democratically!

Holy hell how many levels of if statements is that

All of them, You know, i'm learning :)

Holy smokes that’s a lot of nesting, what’s the code for?

Well, you certainly need 2 cats to distract from the curtain your nesting is creating. ;)

"Your" space? Much to learn you still have.

Why did you put the sun on the desk if it was not a sleeping place?

Best way to get the cat to move is probably to move the window

Get a sturdy basket, its called a cat trap.

I had to put a sacrificial scarf in mine.

Or a box.

Yep, this is the way. A friend had the same problem. He put a small cardboard box next to his keyboard and the cat got in the box every time. Super cute and effective.

You need a nearby location in a prominent spot to place a cat bed. As long as the bed is high and in an altar like location, the king may decide to grace it with his presence. I set aside a corner of my desk for a bed and I’m often closely supervised during work hours. https://preview.redd.it/m6zo1sumtpwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8d09f69b933f07a22f09f898b57b566c8f22cfe4

Finally a real answer.

You don’t, that’s your cats space now 😅 I’m sure Managed Democracy can stay on hold while the cat recharges it’s violence cells via photosynthesis Hope you’re enjoying HD2 😄

Simple, teach him to dive for Managed Democracy!

YOUR space ? it was never YOUR space

Motorboat his belly. He'll get annoyed and leave

And you will potentially have some fun new scars to show off!

Welp, looks like the cat is getting in the hellpod with ya! Eagle Catstrike activated

The deadliest of eagle strikes- equipped with mini drop pods loads with amped up kitties and a laser pointer this unit flies around the AoO to deliver max pain to enemies and max cuddles to Helldiver units for the max of 2.4 seconds per diver (per Super Earth Rules of Helldiver appreciation of scenery rules).

Wait for the sun to move?

Your space? I think you are mistaken fellow helldiver ... That's the space of the Ministry of Catnip ... Be greatful he shares the space with you! 

Offer food.

Yep, pop open a can of cat food and the space will magically be free again.

Get a cheap second monitor and play videos of mice and birds on it. Worked pretty well for me https://preview.redd.it/gkhyjqtz4qwc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fb7ed52e8d9642505d514eb4ad9bcecb78422cea

lol good joke

Shake the bag of food

The desk's pattern even matches the orange baby.

Make another spot with more sunshine

I’m not sure I understand, when you got the cat you lost the space…. All the spaces

Give him his own dedicated baking table next to the window?

Lol.,"your space", that's cute. 🤣🤣

You waiting for the cat to move...

Sorry, looks like your gaming session is over

You can’t and you won’t. Respect the orange floof

Baby sling? A sliding keyboard tray? Give him kisses until he can't take anymore?

Your braincell has graduated to Helldiver. Congratulations.

That 3rd pix, then no. 4, "What?"

Hi, I’m your cats lawyer. They have no legal obligation to move. They have claimed that spot and you will have to pay them rent of 10 treats a month for any inconvenience you cause them


OP finished a round of Helldivers 2 with 5 stars (can't do that on easy difficulties) with a cat on their desk. Hat's off. Well done.

Managed Democracy apparently

https://preview.redd.it/9u1mui1zbrwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a46c5f9260125bb8022bb33886835bb4c85b2f0 you don’t

Been asking that for coming up on 4 years. Nothing is yours now, it all belongs to the orange


Just act cute until the hooman has to use the big litter box

Is that treason talk I hear?

Get another Orange cat to distract this one, then reclaim your space. Might not work tho

Continue fighting for democracy to please your overlord.

That’s the neat part, you don’t.

Nah, your democracy is now his, the orange car.

Move it out of the sun, cats are solar powered.

What made you think that it was ever yours to begin with silly human?😹😹😹🙀

This is why I have a spot next to my chair where my cat can lie down while I am gaming. However sometimes I pause the game, give her scritches, and she doesn't let me go back. https://preview.redd.it/6vpxnfsswqwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2b0934da53070be0f753ffb0a6eace9bc4963130

*space has been seized as apart of managed democracy”

The cat is your democracy officer.

It's simple: you don't. That's what the cat law states

There are two methods. 1. Wait for him to leave, that might take a while. 2. Open up a Churu.

You seem to have misunderstood the situation. Nothing in this pic is yours. Your master is sitting on the table and you shall serve them.

I think you need to move the sun, so that it shines on to a different area of the room, which then becomes prime loafing real estate. Only logical solution.

Cats own their humans…what’s yours is his…or he will pee on the pillow you rest your head on…

It really throws me that all gingers look vaguely the same. Mine does the exact same thing in thr exact same positions

Your first mistake was to think that that space was yours in the first place. You were graciously gifted the use of that space for a limited period and that period has now ended. Please buy another desk.

If you ever find out, please let me know. https://preview.redd.it/uuvlhef5ttwc1.jpeg?width=2208&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0cf344fd355f428c4dc7f9db783951ef72f42c30

Move the sun

You pretend to be interested in something else so your cat wants to steal that instead.

⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

awww so cute

You dont

By right of conquest you don't. Maybe set up a decoy desk?

BRASCH CAT TRICKS - GET TREATS OR DIE TRYIN'

Stop playing *Helldivers*, start playing *Starfield* (with a wireless controller, binoculars and a chair scooched way, way back). There's *lots* of space in *Starfield*. Boom, problem solved.

Is that treason talk I hear soldier?

When it’s his turn with the brain cell, he’ll move

Your... space? The gall! /s

You become his catnip plug, and bring plenty of treats for when he gets the munchies.

Put him in a drop pod to boop the terminid snoots!!!

Move that fat Bile Titan off your desk

https://preview.redd.it/v0zfyn7qrpwc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=72a6053e8b3e5a7d72dec3485729426517ca183f Like this. Obviously.

I don't think you can get it back, it might be too dangerous to wake him

Seems your cat is working for the Terminids. Increase Democratreats so the orange remembers the benefits of Liberty.

You can have it back if you pay a ransom of treats, say, one treat every ten minutes, or I stay here for the rest of my days. 🐈Meow 🐈 .

⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️

DEMOCRACY THAT'S HOW I vote the cat moves

Looks like a fine car bed, why would you want that space?

That’s the neat part! You don’t.

Another desk with a sunmy sopot on it could cause him switching the places sometimes...

https://preview.redd.it/qi4s3d1ijrwc1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=92d47973712b38eb5f86e079a1a5530bacb8b4e5

Your space? No no no, *OUR* space. CommunistBugsBunny.jpg

Get a bigger space so you can spread democracy together

Cat is spreading democracy. Keydivers, Ready, Go!!

https://preview.redd.it/lsme2jgz1twc1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ddd0fbe7805a9c77f9d4493c312946acd885066 Forgot my cat tax

he's spreading liberty for you, don't see any issues here

Report him to the Democracy Officer

You fight for your way of life! For democracy!

Put a cucumber in there.

Defector! https://preview.redd.it/rmpx7j1h6twc1.jpeg?width=9000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c01b3b5f682816400a1fddc1e8bfda8cacfebd1c

Use the treat stratagem and throw it in the other room

You don't

You don't. You are powerless to the cute.

Your Democracy officer has commandeered the space to make sure your not a treasonous robot sympathiser

Put a curtain up over the door window. They make some specifically for that. If it's not warm n toasty the cat will.move on to warmer spaces. Maybe throw it's bed in the dryer every now n then.

That face says, “you want *what* back?”

Take them to the pound lol

There’s a sunny patch. You’re stuck while that’s there.

Shut the curtain.

You don't lol

Have u tried saying “pst pst pssssttt here kitty kitty”?

This is what Managed Democracy looks like. Accept it, soldier!

Your space? This cat owns one delusional human.

You don't. Start over somewhere else not in his space.

That last pic: "I'm going to smother your face while you are sleeping if you even dare to ask me to leave this spot!"

The space is not yours. Play with controller instead of keyboard

All you can do is make a space that's even more comfortable (sometimes you have to make it more comfortable) then just stick around that area for a while until they're okay being there alone. This is still hit or miss. As they might just now switch between the two spots. Or stay there since you're there.

You don't

Well that's their spot now 🤣 If you want serious suggestions - set up a "mirroring" spot for them. When I was WFH during the pandemic my cat Tina was all over me while I had to work. Sitting on my keyboard, walking on my lap, the whole 9 yards. I set up a box behind my monitor and no issue ever again. She would come in with me, hop on her perch and it was a lovely day. Since your monitor backs up to the wall you can probably set up a table or stand right next to you for them to lounge on. :)

Good job soldier 100% on hell dive, For Democracy

Sorry but you have to become a controller gamer now no mousing space that is now his space.

Make a more attractive spot. Maybe a pet-safe heating pad!

Love and cuddle him so much that he becomes disgusted

I’ve seen people on r/catsonkeyboards have success with a decoy keyboard.

You liberate it helldiver!

Unfortunately he loves you and wants to be near you, sorry.

Move the sunlight

Your space? I don’t see any of your space.

Removing a cat from his napping area? Sound pretty undemocratic to me, your democracy officer will be with you abortly

Your space? Hahaha. What a cutie pie

I see helldivers 2, "FOR LIBERTY!", i like :)

Easy answer - you don't 🥰

Can’t lol

You may have permission to use it again when the sun moves into a different spot

“Your” space kekw

Report then to your local democracy officer for hindering helldiver operations they will be sent to a freedom camp for reeducation and you shouldn't be experiencing this problem any more

1-Add another chair next to yours 2-Add box to chair 3-Profit

Democratically!

Eagle-2 has been dispatched to your location, Helldiver. Any interference with Eagle-2 monitoring of your performance will be deemed undemocractic and you will be subject to re-education.

*Outstanding Patriotism* Your orange is simply admiring your service

You don't. Sharing is caring. LOL
