He has his own chair at my desk. Don't tell my wife. She's still despondent about losing her chair.

One of mine (a stunning brown/white tabby floof who lived to 18) was famous for stealing my office chair. So, he got his own chair. He'd spend the entire workday by my side. I sure miss that guy. We're down to "only" three kitties now, and they also do their best to disrupt my workflow! I wouldn't have it any other way.

Still doesn’t keep him from trying to sit in my lap.

They would snooze quietly in my lap. One cat would get down, the other would jump up. They'd swap after an hour or so in winter. In summer, they'd spend less time there, preferring a cool floor or the bathtub or just a chair or bed.

I spend most mornings entertaining and playing with kitties so they'll go down for their cat naps and I can get some work done! I always tell my husband that we need to hire a cat nanny.

Also, I had to designate a Cat Co-Worker chair in the hopes of luring them away from my chair and my computer monitor.
