Together ›Open Table

the cat picked today of all days

Working from the kitchen table today because my son had a half day and I didn’t want to leave him home alone that long. Had a call with my manager going fine until the cat decided the laptop was the comfiest spot in the house and planted himself right on top of the keyboard, mid sentence!

Tried to nudge him off without making it obvious on camera. Didn’t work. He just resettled a few inches over and started purring loud enough that my manager asked if I had a fan running somewhere.

The funny part is he never does this when I’m just scrolling my phone on the couch. Only when there’s a laptop open and something important going on. Like he waits for it.

Told my son about it later and he said the cat has better timing than most people he knows. Can’t really argue with that.

Call ended fine either way, nobody seemed to mind. Just one of those days where the house reminds you who’s actually in charge.

    Mine does the exact same thing the moment a call starts, like he can tell it’s not scrolling time. Last week he parked himself on my keyboard for a solid 9 minutes while I tried to mute myself without anyone noticing.

    does he only do it on calls, never texts?
