What do you do when your cats inform you that it's time to stop working and start paying attention to them?

As much as some people like to make them sound unaffectionate, every cat pawrent knows that cats can be as affectionate as any other pet. It just depends on their mood, and frankly, on what you're doing at any given moment. If you, the cat pawrent, are in a mood for some cat cuddles and kisses, there's a big chance your cat will not let you anywhere near them. But if you're currently busy- say, for example, you're working- your cat is most likely to decide that now's the time for your undivided attention.

This happens to me every time I am taking a meeting from home. My cats will ignore me the whole day, but as soon as I put on my earbuds and log on to Google Meet, there they are, demanding the attention I can no longer give them.

They are relentless, to say the least. They will sit in front of my laptop, cover the entire screen with their fluffy fur, and do everything in their power to keep me from actually participating in the important meeting I am attending. The number of times I have had to apologize to the people I'm talking to because my cats stepped on some button and threw me out of the meeting is truly embarrassing.

Luckily, as an I Can Has Cheezburger writer, the people I work with are very familiar with the unpredictable behavior of cats. All of my colleagues love it when my cats make an appearance in meetings, and they even embrace their input whenever these little funny felines decide it's time to vocally protest my lack of petting.

The closer we get to the festive season, the more demanding my cats become. There is something about the cozy vibes of the season that makes them want more cuddles, and if I'm being honest, denying them is getting harder and harder every day. So if you see a typo here and there, just know it's because my chunky orange cat decided to protest by sitting on my keyboard yet again.

Luckily, when it comes to finding hissterical cat memes, I can do that from anywhere in the house, which gives my cats an opportunity to join me and sit on my lap while I dive into the research. The problem arises when I need both my hands to type, which means that I can no longer multitask and pet them at the same time I am working.
At the moment, I have a cat who is sitting on my right side and giving me side eyes for not petting her, and one who is currently purring and rubbing against my arm, doing everything in his power to get me to stop looking at the screen and start loving him. If only I could explain to them that the reason I work this much is so I can afford to buy them treats, maybe they would ease off the peer pressure just a little bit.
Whether you experience the same struggle or laugh at my expense as you read this with a pet who knows what boundaries are, I'm sure you can use a little distraction from work either way. What better way to do that than by scrolling through some silly cat memes?
