My cat decided my standing desk was a launchpad for birds
I was on a video call with a new client in Austin when my cat, Mango, took a flying leap from the desk, sending my coffee and a stack of invoices into my lap. I had to mute and pretend my connection was bad while I frantically blotted my keyboard with a sock. Anyone else have their workspace invaded by a furry 'assistant' at the worst possible moment?

Maybe it's just me but is it really that big a deal? It's a cat doing cat stuff, not a real work problem. People spill coffee all the time without a cat's help. Couldn't you just say you had a quick spill and move on with the call? Idk, seems like making a bigger story out of a normal pet moment.

Read somewhere that being honest about pets builds trust with coworkers.
