Cat Distraction Solutions: Here are some examples of ways to help your cat relax while you are working.
- A Cat activity toy (Affiliate Link) can be brought out when you need to focus on things. Bring them out to preoccupy them while on a call or focusing on work. Leaving them out all the time may make them bored of the toy.
- Place a cat bed on your desk (Affiliate Link) for your cat to sleep on. Here are some I found on Amazon (affiliate): Cat Beds. Pick a bed that your cat will specifically love. If they love to hide, a bed that looks like a cave works well. If they love to spread out, pick one that is easy to lay in. If your cat is a fan of plush beds, be sure to get them one of those instead.
