WFH purrks, drawbacks + gifs

Because it's Saturday and I'm coming off a fairly busy work week and am feeling like it's been too long since we enjoyed one of the internet's favorite pastimes here on 'Fraidy Cat Eventing:

Cat Pictures!!

(Do we ever really need any other excuse anyway?)

I work from home frequently in the new job, commuting into DC once or twice a week when not otherwise on the road. It's working out well, and my cats are the real winners since they see way more of me.

Those little terrors tho. I swear, the moment I get out of my seat they literally appear out of nowhere to lay claim to it. 

It's impressive, really, how quickly they appear. I could be gone for the merest of moments, and suddenly there's a crashing sound as they leap across furniture to get into that warm cozy chair. And snuggle up like they've been there since the beginning of time.

(And yes, that's me sitting on the very edge of my chair in the above picture bc obviously one's own comfort is nothing in the face of avoiding disturbing such cuteness!)

Tho of course, when my chair itself isn't an option, they go for the next best thing. Often that's my lap (and no, they do not share nicely with my laptop). But really, anything will do. In the above instance, it's my stretched out legs. 

You might think that literally anything else would be more comfortable than that... but idk. It's cats, right? He must have somehow understood that by sleeping on my legs like that for as long as possible, the ever-so-slight hyper-extension in my knees would render me basically as crippled and gimpy as an octogenarian when I finally shook him off.

Because obviously. Cats are always in it for maximum inconvenience and discomfort for everyone else lol.

It's cool tho. We like 'em anyway, I suppose... right? Plus they provide endless opportunities for fun and giggles when I'm trying to video-conference with my colleagues and clients...

So in equal measure to gifs of cats being assholes, here's a couple more of cats to laugh at lol. 

Remember back when I used to have all those fun gifs all the time? I kinda miss those days! Alas, with the new job comes less free time for random endless internet searches haha. (And an end to the baller high-speed university internet, le sigh. drawbacks clawbacks y'all). 

Hopefully this tubby kitty will tide us all over for another weekend haha ;)
