It\u2019s been a significant adjustment. Time, motivation, and space are much more challenging to find at home than at the office, and isolation can be boring and lonely.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>However, WFH has a lot of benefits too. Without the need to commute, you save money on gasoline or bus fare. It\u2019s also easier to convince yourself to make a healthy meal rather than ordering out when you\u2019re home and have the time. Finally, of course, your pets are now your coworkers.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6aaa4eb7c36f6\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6aaa4eb7c36f6\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/pets-are-the-new-wfh-coworkers\/#Sharing_an_Office_Space\" >Sharing an Office Space<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/pets-are-the-new-wfh-coworkers\/#Getting_Lunch_Together\" >Getting Lunch Together<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/pets-are-the-new-wfh-coworkers\/#Exercising_While_on_Break\" >Exercising While on Break<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/pets-are-the-new-wfh-coworkers\/#Why_Cats_Love_Keyboards\" >Why Cats Love Keyboards<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/pets-are-the-new-wfh-coworkers\/#Benefits_of_Your_New_Coworker\" >Benefits of Your New Coworker<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sharing_an_Office_Space\"><\/span>Sharing an Office Space<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Your pet might be the best officemate you&#8217;ll ever have.

Depending on your pet&#8217;s manners, they likely think they can have any food of yours.

If you have a dog, consider a fetch game or a short walk outside to get some fresh air. You can invest in a string toy that your cat can chase. Depending on your cat\u2019s temperament, you may be able to train it to walk on a leash so the two of you can have outdoor time together. With enough patience, anything is possible.<\/p>\n<p>These breaks will get you and your pet up and moving, which is good for both of you. You\u2019re also likely to feel far more refreshed after a fifteen-minute walk or game with your pet than you are after fifteen minutes of scrolling through the doom and gloom of social media.<\/p>\n<p><iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lDU_VLbnn4A?feature=oembed\" title=\"One GREAT way to Exercise with Your Dogs while you #StayHome!

To the general bafflement and frustration of many cat owners, cats love keyboards. There are several reasons for this, but cats love keyboards so much because they love being the center of attention. Between work and leisure, you spend most of the day looking at your computer screen. Your cat makes the connection between your computer and your attention, and the rest is history. Even when you pick your cat up to move them or scold them for being in the way, your actions reinforce the idea that being on your keyboard leads to attention.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of suffering through cat hair in your electronics or locking your cat out of your office, consider providing them with a comfortable spot near your computer where they can nap and be close to you. If you have the room, a shoebox with a towel or small blanket makes a great cat bed. Your cat is still within petting distance, which is what they want. They aren\u2019t going to accidentally send an email consisting of a keyboard smash to your boss, which is what you want. It\u2019s a win-win scenario.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4200\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4200\" style=\"width: 624px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/catkeyboard.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"http:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/catkeyboard.png\" class=\"wp-image-4200 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"416\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4200\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4200 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/catkeyboard.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"624\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/catkeyboard.png 624w, https:\/\/gingercavalier.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/catkeyboard-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> Image by IRCat from Pixabay<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Your_New_Coworker\"><\/span>Benefits of Your New Coworker<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While interacting with pets is a definite bright spot in what otherwise might be a dreary workday, they\u2019re not just fun to have around.

Pets help with all of this, and they&#8217;re happy to have you home more often as well.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your new routine looks like, pause for a moment to enjoy your pet\u2019s company and appreciate their presence in your life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akc.org\/expert-advice\/training\/why-crate-training-is-great-for-your-dog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.akc.org\/expert-advice\/training\/why-crate-training-is-great-for-your-dog\/<\/a><\/u>\n<ul>\n<li>American Kennel Club article on crate training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/animal-poison-control\/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.aspca.org\/pet-care\/animal-poison-control\/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets<\/a><\/u>\n<ul>\n<li>ASPCA page on people food that\u2019s bad for pets<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><u><a href=\"https:\/\/habri.org\/2016-pet-owners-survey\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/habri.org\/2016-pet-owners-survey<\/a><\/u>\n<ul>\n<li>Survey by the Human Animal Bond Research Institue about pet owners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"kc_opp\"><small>Originally posted 2020-11-19 20:20:38.
