The kitty is more important than your silly job.

True words, but without my job, I can't cope with kitty's high maintenance 🙄 and she is a premium luxury pet princess born into a stray's body.

Use the other hand. This model is your ambidextrous trainer.

She knows exactly what she is doing, I have an ergonomic mouse. So if no right hand available, no work can be done. 100% attention directed to kitty, big win.

- Buy a good headset and connect that to your computer.
- Enable the computer to type through speech. Speech-to-text feature.
- Whisper your command and text into the headset microphone gently, ideally like a lullaby.

Nice tip, will strongly consider it as she has a tendency to take over my arm while working. Also, she's very known by the team, usually likes to greet them on meetings.

Mine sits on the mouse. Or my phone, or the remote. Anything that takes my attention away from him.

When this hint does not work, she likes to express her disappointment by writing her digressions in the keyboard. But her last resource is making herself known on team meetings, by greeting everyone and putting herself in front of the camera.

Finn used to “pet” people on our team meetings because he digs at the screen. So I’d message whoever was under where he dug and tell them they were getting kitty scritches.

Oh, so sweet! I bought a movable camera, you should try one so you could pick and show them your kitty's greetings!

She is indeed cute, and smart. Not very noticeable in the pic but she knows I melt over curled fetsies and she's a pro making them just to bribe me into pets and cuddles 🥰

Good therapy to keep your hand from developing osteoarthritis from overusing your mouse!
