With lots of people working from home these days, there has never been a better time for America's pets. Suddenly, their owners don't leave for large chunks of the day anymore. They don't even get dressed. Some of them rarely shower. But I digress. 

The point is that pets all over the country, and probably the rest of the world too, have no idea that there's a pandemic. They just know that they get to cuddle their humans all day now, and that's all that matters to them. People everywhere are sharing snapshots of what their workday looks like now that their pets are involved, and I have to say, things are much more adorable this way.

For some work-from-home buddies, they're excited that you're home, but they can't understand why you spend all day tapping your fingers and staring into that rectangle thing. Why can't you play with them? This is not as fun as first seemed to be.

Smoky is like, "Hey, hey. You're here, I'm here. And yet, you are sitting on a chair, looking at something that's not me, not petting me. This is unacceptable. Please rectify this situation as soon as possible. Thank you."

This cat owner moved a whole ottoman next to their desk so their cat could sit next to them while they work, but the cat has decided to sit on the floor, stare at them, and whine instead. Sounds about right.
