c) For knitting projects or paperwork, lie on the work in the most appropriate manner so as to obscure as much of or at least the most important part. Pretend to dose, every so often reach out and slap the pencil or knitting needles.
Don Juan's particular "helping" includes:

1) Position himself on my lap in such a way that the end of a knitting needle will hit him in the head. This insures that I will stop knitting and give him a head scritch.

2) If the knitting is big enough, he will plant his 14-pound torso on top of it so that I can't turn it and have to stop working and pay attention to him.

3) If I am online LOOKING FOR A JOB , he will allow his tail to dangle over the screen so that I have to shift the windows around to see what I'm doing. After all, if I find a job, then he'll have to amuse himself all day instead of having me to dote on him.
