Steps:
- Act like you're doing something important with your arduino
- Make sure cat sees you looking very interested in what you are doing
- Cat will then come lay on whatever you are working on
- Pet cat
Haha, excellent! +1
great picture ; beautiful cat
Just don't leave your phone charger anywhere in sight. My cat gnaws on the cable! There are loads of bite marks in it, LOL.
I don't think it's good idea to pet the cat while working on Arduino project.
at least most arduino projects don't require a HOT soldering iron

Actually, i think it is.
Working as concentrated as stated on your project, might mean you've got a real challenge at hand.
Best way to deal with that often is to take your mind off of it for a minute or two, and that's where your pet comes in.
@WinstonP:
Looks like your cat just found out about hot irons.
To be honest, I despise cats...
A human as pet is far better, mine... can even place components and solder my projects.
He is quite touchy though, I need to walk him at least 3-4 times a day and it's wise to read a little about humans before you adopt one 
My cat Oscar does not seem very impressed with my initial foray into the joy of 7 segment displays recently. Oh well I liked it 8)

Static?
It's 93F with 59% humidity here.
Humidity will bleed static. I call it a low-potential day today but in winter it's high-potential.

That's only indoors, actually, due to your furnace. Outdoor humidity doesn't vary by much more than 10% over the year.
Really?
The relative humidity typically ranges from 39% (comfortable) to 92% (very humid) over the course of the year, rarely dropping below 22% (dry) and reaching as high as 100% (very humid).
The air is driest around April 20, at which time the relative humidity drops below 47% (comfortable) three days out of four; it is most humid around September 22, exceeding 88% (very humid) three days out of four.
Dew point, where water condenses from air, drops with temperature. That's science. Freezing temperatures do not support as much water vapor in the air as warm temperatures. When it gets dry enough, ice will sublimate. We don't see so much of that since the weather changed around 73-74.

Oh-oh !
That project is doomed !
It crossed a black cat (or the other way around).
Good thing it was only on protoboard!
Excellent!
I have a question
it's a normal cat, right?
Or i need a special kind of cat, for the project?
LOL
Lol my cat does the same thing!
I'll take pics next time... (mine will sit and attempt to sleep on the arduino)
Here, we seldom use those two words together in the same sentence
That photo reminds us of the saying "dogs have masters, but cats have staff"
