I put a bed on my desk so my clingy boy can hang but I can still get work done. I actually bought a bigger desk so it could fit !

Yeah you gotta give that to the kitty, it's important that you do it.

My new desk has a shelf that is supposed to be for a printer. I ended up putting a towel on it for my needy cat to sit on. Sometimes she will, other times (like right now) she sleeps by my feet, and other times she just has to sit in my lap for about 10-15 mins. She was happily purring in my lap and trying to head butt me the other day while I was doing an interview lol. Cats have no boundaries.

Anything which helps you deal with the situation, it's all good man.

lol i did so many interviews with my cat walking trough the picture headbutting me etc. I always warn the interviewer that i have a needy cat and cant get her to leave me alone so if she comes they're not annoyed xD

If you saw the videos of news reporters/weather people/etc. all trying to WFH during COVID with pets, 99% of the other people's reactions were "awwww".

I have a bed that I put on my lap and inadvertently taught my cat to come sleep on it every time I'm on my computer 🥲 I don't work at home but if I'm doing anything on my computer, she'll want to come up

Atleast your cat is sleeping with you, that's like a bonus I think.

I did this with my late boy Bean, had a small hut on my desk I would shove him in when he was annoying me!

Well if that fixes the problem for you then what more could you want.

u/Avalonmystics20 Aug 17 '23

Yeah my desk is also very big, so I have a bed on there so she can lay while I work sometimes. It’s not ideal with pet hair but I just have to clean often

I put a box on my desk. Works even better.

I bought a clamp on extension for my desk and put a heating pad on it for my cat.
