Since the pandemic began, I’ve worked from home.
I have two cats, and as much as they like me giving them attention, they think of home as their space, not mine.
So when I stay at home all day to work, I’m intruding on their space.
They follow me around. They jump on me and rub their faces against my face.
When I go outside, they want to be outside with me.
And then, at some point, they go off to their own spots to sleep.
I look for them, and they chirp in indignation, and go to sleep again.
