So I wanted to work again, but I can’t because I risk waking up the cat with my mechanical keyboard…

    Cat owners: I’d better not make the smallest noise in case my cat wakes up.

    Cats: I want something, time to lay on my owner’s face and suffocate them until they wake up.

      You have NO idea how many intrusive thoughts per second the average cat has to deal with

    I think you’re fine to type, as long as you give the cat a bit of fuss and attention at the end of each sentence.

      Naturally, every sentence ends with a period (of cat loving).

    How do you know your cat doesn’t just want in on some Keyboard ASMR goodness? Quit depriving them!

    Cats are good at ignoring humans until they need food or water. Go ahead & type away - the most reaction you’re likely to get is a single annoyed crack of the eye, then right back to sleep.

    They get to sleep all they want, with no responsibilities. I never feel a moment’s hesitation about disturbing them :)

    What a florf.

    Cats are ridiculous. They are so cute that it’s enough to simply see pictures of them and your heart goes mruuurr. Pictures! 2D! Mruur! That’s how cute they are.

      I could be wrong… I’m not a doctor…

      But if your heart is making that kind of sound, you might want to see a doctor.

        I treat my heart like I treat my car: unless there’s fluid actively leaking out, those noises are just for attention.

        Good thing you’re not a doctor, or I’d think you were trying to drum up business.

    Recently bought an Ergo Purrch to keep my cat away from the keyboard. Very effective, and the cat loves it.

      Yea no way my cat would ever use that. I put a single piece of paper on my desk instead, the fucker loves sleeping on squares.

        The perch is square too. I sewed him a pillow and a small blanket for it. He was hesitant to go there at first, but now he loves it so much he’ll nap there all day when I wfh, sometimes even on non-work days.

      Oh, yeah - when comparing the amount of time cats spend doing each, it’s definitely naps > work.

    I mean all cats are different, but I don’t recall any of my pets having an issue with me clacking at the keyboard, even the super loud IBMs.

      They’re allright. I like the shape, but the space bar has sloppy tolerances. Price to performance ratio is great.
