I thought I could outsmart my cat.
I was wrong.
The Setup I Tried to Create
A perfect workspace.
Separate space.
Clear desk.
What actually happened
- cat chose my keyboard anyway
- ignored the “cat bed” I bought
- preferred the one spot I needed
It wasn’t about comfort.
It was about proximity.
Expectation vs Reality
| Expectation | Reality |
|---|---|
| Cat uses own space | Cat uses your space |
| Quiet environment | Random interruptions |
| Control | Zero control |
The Turning Point
I stopped fighting it.
Started adjusting instead.
