So yesterday, I’m on a Zoom call, right? Camera on, coffee in hand, pretending to be professional. Midway through my “strategic insights” speech, my cat decides to *parkour* off the bookshelf behind me—takes down a plant, my Wi-Fi router, and half my credibility in one leap. Everyone gasps, I freeze, then the screen goes black. Honestly, at this point, I think my cat just handed in my resignation for me. Ever had your pet ruin your “serious” work moment like that?

Lol, well that's a funny visual, but I think you might be giving your cat a little bit too much credit. Silly stuff like that happens all the time and your coworkers probably had a good chuckle about it and then will never think about it again. I'm always having to tell my husband to stay out of my camera view when I'm on a call because he likes to just walk around as if nothing is going on when I'm talking to the CEO and all of the executives. Thankfully we haven't had any incidents yet, but I'm just waiting.

As a matter of fact, my cat was asleep on the bed in the room in my office . During a group Zoom meeting, she decided to stand up on back of my chair and take a look around straight into the screen. I was mortified- -everyone else thought it was funny! Next week I put her in the bathroom!!!
