Oh and I forgot, a big one, I engage the cats if they show interest in my task.

When cooking they can smell safe things, if I'm working on tech i have a very large screw and bolt for them to play with/try out instead of my small ones.

Cats are social and want to be included, if you give them the option to do "parallel play" I think it will improve what people see as problem behaviors that are really just begging to be included.
