Julian,

    It is unpredictable what cats will like.  Neither of my cats are interested in the computer screen.  One of them sits on the keyboard while I am trying to type.  The other one knocks stuffs off the shelf behind me to attract attention.  

    Cat toys are popular for a while, then the cats grow tired of them and start playing with something else.  This is sort of like me with video games.  You could always find a video game that you find fascinating.  FlightGear?  Arena?  It will be your cat's duty to interrupt you.

    What moves your cursor around when you are not trying to get work done?
