Playing video games is part of the daily routine of any fan of interactive entertainment. However, on a day-to-day basis there are many other tasks that require our attention and one of the most precious are the pets. As well, if you have one or more cats at home and you have discovered that they are always trying to do everything possible so that you do not fully enjoy your play session on the console or on the PC, now the reason has been discovered why they do it. In case you are curious, we anticipate it: in part it is for a good reason.
And the main reason is that your cat adores you and all he wants is seek your attention so you don’t divert her to something other than him. This is explained by an expert in cat behavior who has been consulted by the media Gamingbible on this matter. “Cats relate to their owners and want to be wherever they are and often they interfere with what they are doing to get their attention, “said Sally Chamberlain about the behavior of felines when we find ourselves doing an activity with which they feel ignored. In addition, it also adds the reason why they also tend to huddle next to the consoles, the PC itself or the controllers.
“Electrical equipment is always hot and keyboards and controllers can be seen by a cat as interesting gaming stuff, especially when combined with quick movements from the hands and fingers of its owner while using them ”, he added. In this way, you already know the two main reasons why your cat usually snuggles up on your PC and why they are always attentive to any movement you execute with the keyboard or with a controller in their hands. Cats respond to such quick stimuli and make them curious, so they always try to annoy you, in quotes, to interfere with that action.
So the next time you see your cat perform this practice, take it as a gesture of affection or curiosity rather than scolding him for it. The expert also recommends that if your cat is too insistent you can give him an unused controller or keyboard so he can snuggle up there or set up a cushion or a small bed next to your playroom so that you feel comfortable and relaxed while you enjoy your session of vice.
