Let’s face it. Cats are not known for respecting personal space. Lately, our cat has been particularly neurotic when it comes to morning attention. It makes it hard to put on your thinking cap when the cat is atop your head. It makes me frantically look for a catnip mouse or a can of tuna as a distraction.
If your cat is keeping you from morning productivity, here are a few things you can do:
- Try reverse psychology. I’ve noticed if you want to pet cats, they run away as if you’ve sprouted a second, evil head. If they think YOU want attention, they’ll sense they are no longer in control and run.
- Stand up and walk. Cats are not keen on maintaining balance on moving objects.
- Keep the coffee from the cat. The last thing you need is a neurotic AND a caffeinated cat.
Hang in there. This too shall pass!
