\"\"Today is National Take Your Cat to Work Day. So many of us these days work at home\u2014when our cats allow it. So we know full-well what it\u2019s like to work with a cat underfoot; on the desk; dancing across the computer keys; or meowing to be fed, played with, noticed\u2026 If you work at home with cats, I wonder, how many times a day do you pick up your favorite pen from the floor, move a cat from the paper you\u2019re trying to work on (or your phone or laptop), or clean up a spill of water, paperclips, or paperwork?<\/p>\n

Working at home is nothing new for many, but over the \"\"last couple of years it has become a way of life for millions more people, who have had to learn to work amidst household activities which include children and pets. Have you ever taken a pet to work at an office away from home, though?<\/p>\n

Not every cat would relish or even tolerate going with you to work, but those who would, will surely give your workplace a new dimension of frivolity, mischief, and fun\u2014maybe even calm. Cats can be calming. They\u2019re known to relieve stress in humans\u2014when they\u2019re not \"\"causing havoc. Think about it, there are probably plenty of things at your place of business for a cat to push off onto the floor, for example, and lunches to taste, and people to greet.<\/p>\n

If you are brave enough to take your cat to work, be sure to provide some way to contain her in case there\u2019s a door-dash problem and bring a bottle of allergy relief for those in your office with cat allergies. Oh yes, and you might warn coworkers to wear something that cat hair doesn\u2019t cling to. No wool or corduroy, for example. Denim and rayon or taffeta repel cat fur, so clothing in these fabrics would be suitable for take your cat to work day.<\/p>\n
