I didn't plan to get a cat that judges me for a living, but here we are.
This is her spot now. Right next to my keyboard, wearing that tiny red beret like she's about to go paint something in Paris. I bought that hat as a joke last month, didn't think she'd actually sit still long enough to wear it.
She did. And now she won't take it off.
I was in the middle of work when she jumped up, pushed my pillow aside, and just stared at me. That face. Like "you're doing it wrong again."
I tried to move her once. Bad idea.
So I let her stay. Honestly it's nicer working with her there. She doesn't do much, just sleeps, stares, and occasionally tries to bite my charger. But it feels less lonely.
If you work from home, you get it. Sometimes you just need a weird little boss in a red hat to keep you company.
