Nobody else worrying that a cat may be caught under the wheels of your office chair?

I am working from home, my office is actually the former (and current) "cat room". For nearly 10 years my SO and myself were a foster home for rescue cats. And quite a few stayed here for various reasons.

None of them would use the desk. But they really enjoy their cameos in my Teams and zoom calls. And when I am not at my desk, when I am closing my laptop for the day, they instantly enjoy flopping down on the still warm machine.

Was easier when I had a big CRT on my desk, and the cat would just chill on top and bat at the mouse pointer moving around the screen.

I came to post the same thing. I assume my cat liked the heat emanating from the CRT's vents on top.

Sounds like a good diy project with an old monitor and a raspberry pi...

Electric blankets. I put mine in the chair next to me and my cat will furiously ask me to turn it on each morning. Three hours of peace.

All fun and games until the cat ends up sitting in front of your monitor, just like my cat is doing right now because it is warm.

Had to move my browser up to see what I am typing.

You need a stand such when the cat's weight is detected in front of the monitor, the monitor is lifted up.

Then the source of heat will disappear and the cat will simply move to the 2nd monitor.

Every time I get up my cat steals my chair even though he has his own next to mine

Get two identical chairs.

I think they like the heat. They also love to sit on warm car hoods after the car is shut off. Maybe a heating pad set on low would attract them.

Could be because that one is warmer because you sat on it.

My cat and I want a chair with a little shelf on the back by my head where he can sit.

> There’s another cat space on the underside of the desk surface, in the normally unutilized space in front of your knees when you’re sitting.

Yeah… If you're of a typical Japanese length. My knees appreciate all the space they can get, and that very much includes the bit of 'unused space' where a cat can go in the article.

(Living in Japan as a student really made me feel like a two metre tall giant at times. Classroom desks at Japanese universities were universally too small.)

The website design, the post content, the pictures... I get a big OO's web feeling reading this; that's weird!

I have a rolling wire rack with plants on it next to the desk. One shelf is dedicated to a cat bed and toys.
