Hooray for working at home! (by alaric)
The cats aren't meant to get into my office, since I have desks laden with delicate electronic circuits with long cables that dangle down, but somehow Minnie snuck in there - because this morning, as I was sitting at my desk, she appeared beside me and meowed while looking up expectantly. I patted my lap, and she jumped up, made herself comfortable, and lay down to purr.
That's not something you normally get while working in an office, is it?
Despite the well-known stress-relief properties of a purring cat on your lap... If I ever set up an office, I'll make sure I get non-cat-allergic employees and have an office cat or two!
But, alas, not where I'm trying to do electronic circuit development.
