Ah, the cat is a member of the Feline Anti-Literary Society (FALS).  Its 
member interpose themselves between humans and any type of reading 
matter.  My two cats (and all previous co-habitating cats) are members 
in good standing.  Tehy get between myself and book, tablets, computer 
screens,  etc. as well as walking across keyboards.  Shadow is a 20 lb + 
cat without having any Maine Coon in him, just fat.
