Why do I keep on stroking and cuddling that damn cat even though I know it
only conditions her to expect attention from me at any time and leads
inevitably to her sitting in front of the monitor poking the keyboard?

Because you are enslaved.

Grant appears to think I am his own portable bed.

because it calms you and makes you feel good?

Because she is training you ... and it appears that she has been successful.

Because you're human, you love cats, you love the attention you get _most_
of the time and cats are cats.

When MIschief jumps on my lap while I'm at the computer, I'll be
petting her with my left hand, and after a while she starts nudging my
right hand which is operating the mouse.

Clearly she's saying "You're supposed to pet me with TWO hands!"
