My cat has taken to pawing me in the side while I go on the computer

Usually I come back to my computer with a bunch of rando crap open and always without fail on airplane mode. I swear they try to occupy my energy space every time I get up.
My current cat is banned from the office outside of late night, I have two desks and he's not allowed on this one but he tries to sneak by and jump on via the other, destroying everything in between. He's allowed on my lap late night mind.
My last cat (RIP) used to just sleep on my mouse mat next to my hand, rather peacefully (Was cute but the former stray had kidney failure in his latter days (Medicated but didn't help much)) and he damn smelt quite bad (Put up with it when knew he had 6 or so months left).

My cat comes and gives me a tap, tap with her paw usually when I'm playing games or distracted by the TV. I'll say "what do you want? Show me" most of the time she's looking for attention and leads me to the bathroom for some pets.
Our youngest faces away from me and meows. She's gotten really bad about yelling at us when it's bed time.
Sounds like he wants you to play?

My cat took to licking my computer to get me attention. Or just for funsies, I'm not sure.
She's a weirdo.

Cats can learn boundaries. Mine would jump up on the desk so I would pick him up and put him on the floor. This went on for several days. He was very persistent. Then once when he was about to leap I stopped him by scolding and saying...
"Aaaa! No. You know the rules."
He was not amused.
"Rules? I don't need no stinking rules. Don't mandate me!"
He then proceeded to the other side of the room to sit there and glare at me. If looks could kill.

That seems like an insanely complicated set of rules to expect a cat to live up to.
My kitty knows living room table is a no go. Kitchen table south of the sink is a no go. Otherwise just be a cat. He is awesome at living up to that. I can leave meat on the kitchen table, and he has not in his 13 years of living done anything wrong.
He is also spoiled as fuck, so he will have gotten some bites of whatever is on the kitchen table, to keep him from feeling that he has to go oceans 11.
He knows how doors work and is old and a bit of a loner. Sleeps at the end of the bed just so can wake me up at 6 (I will get up at 7 at the latest) to feed him. He spends a lot of time outside too chilling when it's warm (I'm UK based and live off the road).
All you guys, just flaunting your cats, people will try to steal them.
They're all great cats, it looks like.

You're lucky. My bad little man rips raw pork out of the package if you turn your back for a second. 🤦♂️
I need a new screen that does not put out as much heat.
Lol what a cute little bastard. 🤣
My god it's true!

I got a pen display a few days ago in an attempt to improve my (currently rock-bottom terrible) art skills. The moment I attempt to use it, my cat does everything in her power to position herself between me and the display.
Like, sit on my lap or whatever, but please don't paw at the screen, try to climb on the display, use the corners of the display/the back of the pen to scratch your face, etc.

My cats have an irrational hatred of me eating. Even if they have already been fed.
The leader, Picard will literally follow you everywhere, scratch at every fabric surface (carpets, sofas, etc) and try to jump on top of the fridge (when not just knocking magnets off it) to show his displeasure of me and my partner eating.
And I came armed with pictures.
Lt. Jean-Luc Picard (he's been demoted several times for inspordination)
Ensign Spock (he hasn't ranked up yet he's the youngest)
Lt Commander Benjamin Lafayette Sisko (he's to Much of a fraidy cat to be a Captain)

Haha, I love how everyone gets along when posting pics of cats.

Why wouldn't we. Cats are awesome! I've been the proud human of 19 cats over the years.
And cat pictures bring us life.
For example:
No... They are full of hate.
They are literally an apex predator that can be picked up and cuddled, trust me as much as they love us they hate us at the same time.
As for proof of the Apex predator thing. As a much younger person I had a cat named Tippie(my first cat) . Back then I was an idiot and I let my cats outside.
Not only did she once bring me literally two dead rats holding each one by their tail on either side of her mouth. She once lept off my porch to catch a bird out of the air mid flight and kill it. She then looked at me for approval.
