I too had a helper a couple of years back....I was sitting on a low box on the ground carefully positioning two pieces of steel prior to welding them.
My helmet was on my head, tilted back, a cigarette in my mouth, and my hand-piece, with a rod in it, was hanging across my thigh.
My cat, who, like yours, enjoys being in the shop, was sitting next to me on top of a tyre.
Suddenly, without warning, he jumped onto my knee, digging his claws in.
I jumped, my helmet flipped down smashing the burning cigarette into my face and down the front of my shirt, I jumped again, my hand-piece fell onto the steel I was positioning and arced out.
By the time I finished my war-dance and got things under control, the cat was nowhere to be seen.
And yes, he still comes and keeps me company! (He's lying along side me sleeping as I'm typing this.)
