the answer is: they don't bother us, generally, because they're used to us being here and working at X times of day from Y spot. My cats have learned that when I sit at my desk in the morning, it is Don't Bother Reb time. But they also know about when that time is supposed to end

you just started working from home and they are either THRILLED because ATTENTION, or ANNOYED because you're interrupting their patterns. either way, they're fucking obnoxious right now. that's to be expected.

my advice: try to follow good WFH practices like designating a work area separate from leisure areas, and keep to a set schedule. Then, during that time, don't engage with them. Obv get up and stretch and pet them and tend to their needs, but do it away from your desk.

when they bother you, ignore them. have a partner remove them from the room if you can. if they get in your space, move them out of it, then ignore. don't teach them that if they yell at you during work time they'll get attention. it'll suck for a few days, but they'll catch on.

this may seem like very obvious advice and some pets may not ever fully adjust but if your dog or cat is just a million times more annoying than usual while you're working, it will likely pass if you try to treat work like work in a consistent way.

Great advice Reb! Bear is so used to the routine now she knows where to nap after breakfast, wakes up at 10AM so we go for walkies, goes back to napping, then back up at 2PM for more walkies. She's like an atomic clock now.

Animals adjust to routine so well. Mine settle in for a nap every morning now around 9 AM. I start work at 11 AM and they'll come nap near me but not bother me. Then at about 6 PM (an hour before I'm off work) they start getting real active again.

The one downside to my GF being home all the time is it threw off Sushi's routine. He's now hyper and excited during the day, when before he'd nap and chew on his bone until noon for a quick walk, then back to napping.

I literally got no peace from my cats until I put cut-down cardboard boxes on my table/desk. That gives them a place to sleep while I work.

I made mine a little blanket bed on a shelf on my desk!! They just wanna be close. :)
