      But can you train a cat to not jump on your computer desk?

      Asking for a friend.

        Pretty easily. If they’re a friendly, affectionate cat, simple instruction and reinforcement can work pretty fast.

        If they’re an unruly pest of a cat, you have to make the desk uncomfortable for them to be on. Sometimes permanently.

        If they’re the kind of cat that only listens when you’re around, it might have to be a bit of both.
