Why does my cat like to sleep on my laptop?

Question

Whenever I leave my laptop my cat drops himself on my laptops keyboard

Answer 1

Because your cat is keeping a secret online blog and is a member of an elite cat group plotting to overthrow the government! LOL... Just kidding. :D

There are several reasons cats do this, mostly what everyone has said already. The laptop is probably warm and alot of cats like to lay on stuff that generates heat. It also probably smells like you, and the cat feels content laying on something that smells like you - just the same as if you caught your cat sleeping on your favorite jacket or another piece of clothing you leave on the bed or wherever. The laptop is something you probably pay alot of attention to, and the cat recognizes this. This is the same as when you have paperwork laid out on the table, or a newspaper or book, and the cat comes and lays down right in the middle of where you are working. In the cat's mind, he is thinking "Whatever you are doing is obviously very important to you, I must be a part of that!"

Here's a funny youtube video of someone's cat laying on the keyboard and making the computer spazz out:
