I have my own workaround for just this issue.
I raise my hand to the "Stop/Hold" position.
Get to a point where I can stop and leave myself a note on the next thing to do.
Then let them interrupt me.
I have even done this to my former boss and the owner. It wasn't long before they adopted it for the same reason.
YMMV -

That could be the reason (I have seen the M/F/age difference issues before) but keeping an eye out for that and other odd behavior (other than "normal" cat oddities) has been a trigger for a trip to the vet if it sticks around and is not a one off. -

If this is something new the cats are doing, there might have a medical issue, I hope not but I have seen it in the past but usually a single cat not multiple. -

These days most of my installs are in VM's with very few exceptions but I did like it when I was using it. -

Here is my high step count from the end of last year.
There is a bug somewhere that goes nuts on time zone change. https://nu.federati.net/attachment/290112 -

It is more about maintaining my weight, and while it might not burn as many calories as running or other activities, it is better than no activities. I am pretty close to balanced in intake calories and calories burned and I have lost a lot of weight (around 85 lbs) over many years and want to keep it off, the step count is my way of keeping it that way. -

While my numbers may not be as high, the same reasoning. I have found over time that if I don't keep an average step count at a level I start gaining weight. Not doing any exercise at all, typically a Sunday, I only get in about 1.5k-2k steps unless Sunday happens to be the day I mow the lawn and then Saturday goes into that range. -

Exercise tracking for me, I have a step goal set and usually get there or beyond 5-6 days a week.
Why would I need a map of my house (my commute for work is about 30 feet if I take the long way) and to the mailbox (500 steps round trip)? -

From what I have read in the news, I am going to guess it did come from the US, most likely from someone inside and loyal to a certain party that is not the current presidents.
That is the source, as to the why.
Wag the Dog Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wag_the_Dog#%22Wag_the_dog%22_term_and_usage
>The political phrase wag the dog is used to indicate that attention is purposely being diverted from something of greater importance to something of lesser importance. The idiom stems from the 1870s. In a local newspaper, The Daily Republican: "Calling to mind Lord Dundreary's conundrum, the Baltimore American thinks that for the Cincinnati Convention to control the Democratic party would be the 'tail wagging the dog'."[30]
>
>The phrase, then and now, indicates a backwards situation in which a small and seemingly unimportant entity (the tail) controls a bigger, more important one (the dog). It was again used in the 1960s. The film became a "reality" the year after it was released, due to the Clinton–Lewinsky scandal. Days after the scandal broke, President Bill Clinton ordered missile strikes against two countries, Afghanistan and Sudan.[31] During his impeachment proceedings, Clinton also bombed Iraq, drawing further "wag the dog" accusations[32] and with the scandal still on the public's mind in March 1999, his administration launched a bombing campaign against Yugoslavia.[33]
