I can't play poker

[PokerCat69]

My girlfriend and I bought a kitten last night and this thing need attention badly. I woke up at 8am today and spent 4 hours with the cat. It won't let me have 5mins to myself before meowing for attention. Argh I want it to sleep but it won't.
The cat keeps jumping up on me and on the keyboard.

What the hell can I do? I can't play poker and I'm not cold hearted enough to keep it out of the room. Damn I want the cat to sleep.
