Working from home is a huge convenience, that is unless you have cats. I wonder what their fascination is about climbing all over my desk while I’m working. I think it’s because they don’t want me to get any work done at all. I bet they are thinking, “Look at me, aren’t I adorable?” Which I do think you are but, “Do you need to lay on my keyboard?” “Can’t you just lay on the empty areas on the desk?” This is my conversation with my two cats all day.
Constantly pushing and shuffling them around my work area. I even bought I much larger desk to compensate for them, but no, they must lay as close to me as possible. I won’t complain too much because they are the light of my life. Even though I’m fighting with them all day for space, I am smiling while I do. I can’t help but think they are too cute and funny, I love them all to pieces. I only have kids with 4 legs, not 2, so they are my babies.
Not only do I have 2 cats on my desk but my Lab Retriever insists on sleeping underneath my desk, practically on my feet. I do like it in the winter though, I tuck my feet underneath him to keep my tootsies warm. So I’m cramped no matter where I turn. Oh well, they give me unconditional love so I can’t ask for more than that.
This brings me to the whole reason for this article. I came across the most ingenious idea ever. The Kit-In Box is a small pet bed that can be attached directly to your desk. The bed can support cats and even small dogs up to 20 lbs. It is available in three different finishes; cherry, mahogany and birch. This is an awesome idea for your little supervisor to be able to be with you but not on top of you.
Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I'm lucky enough to work from home with the help of my two cats and recently adopted puppy. I'm addicted to all things beauty so in my spare time, I enjoy shopping for new products and sharing them with you. I'm obsessed with Pinterest so every once in a while I'll throw in my favorite new recipes that my husband and I try and like. Hope you enjoy your time here!

Ha ha ha. Too bad I didn’t see this earlier, Amanda, or I might have gotten this for Kevin’s birthday! Our buddies spend all day on the desk with him — they don’t bother with me, but they sure love to spend time with him.

Amanda, Thanks for the tip. However I will tell you that if I bought one for my cat, Maya, she would stubbornly not use it. I spent a full day in December creating a warm and cosy pet bed for her – it is covered in fleece and she won’t go anywhere near it. She prefers to knock over my filled garbage can – push out all the papers and then lay in there, to resting in the bed made lovingly just for her. And yes, I purchased a wireless keyboard for my laptop because she spends most of the day, when not in the garbage can, on the keyboard of my laptop.
Oh well. At least she doesn’t correct my spelling!

Cats are stubborn, aren’t they? They only do what they want, when they want. I bought a cat bed to put on my desk and only one of my cats will use it. That’s funny that a cat would prefer crumpled paper to a nice cozy bed, but you probably get tired of cleaning up the paper after she’s done.
