As for pets, I wish I could let my cats in the room when I work (then they’d stop scratching at the door). But the younger one assumes if I’m in the same room with him I must want to snuggle and play. So he hops on the desk, tries to lay on the keyboard, or starts tugging at computer wires for the desktop. Then if he gets yelled at he climbs to the bookcase where my fish is and tries to catch him… never fails to get attention when he wants it. lol So no pets in the “workplace” for me sadly.
