Whenever I work from home, like today, I end up in a battle of wills with Gracie over who's going to sit in the desk chair. Normally, she could care less about sitting here, but when I'm trying to work she HAS to have this seat.
She's tried the cute, snuggly, purry, routine, sitting on my lap while I work.
She's also been walking back and forth across the keyboard, laying on the keyboard and sitting beside the keyboard meowing at the top of her lungs. This is all because SHE wants the chair. Whenever I get up for a minutes and come back, there she is, sitting in my seat, looking all cute and smug. Since there's not room for both of us, unless she's on my lap, I've been picking her up and moving her, leading to loud protests on her part.
In a few minutes, I have two-hour conference call. It would be helpful to be at my desk during this time, but since Gracie HAS to have the chair, I'll move into the dining room. Yes, I could close the door to my office, but then she'd just stand outside "yelling."
Of course, Gracie will now need to move into the dining room to sit in the middle of all my paperwork while I'm on the phone.
Guess I don't really need to ask who's going to win. Gracie does. Everytime!
