When I first moved in the cat wouldnt want anything to do with me and would hiss or run away if I came to close.
Its been a few years, letting her take things at her own pace, and now shes practically attached at my hip. When I go to bed she lays down on my chest. When I go to the bathroom she tries to follow me. When I'm at the computer she'll jump onto the desk.
Its honestly the best feeling in the world and my fiancee is super jealous the cat wants to spend all this time with me that she used to spend with her.
I posted her before but this is my fiancees cat, Whistie. Little bundle of murder that slowly grew to accept me and now wont leave my side.

I’ve read some cats prefer people who ignore them. Which is why some cats seem to zero in on those allergic to them haha

It took about a year for our adopted kitty to warm up but she is such a snuggle bug now! They are worth the wait ☺️
Sentay
Cats are cool, they take time to get to know you but the connection is so real after that.

Good

Looks like it's time to get a new cat for your fiancée so she isn't jealous.
Beyondhelp13
It'll be the animals that will suffer when we have to go fully back to the office

Have an open book right next to your keyboard. At least, that works whenever I read a book...

You've been accepted.

Put a bed or box next to your desk for cat. Helps a ton keeping them off the keyboards.
Krasnopeev
Sounds like my 3 year old. I love it
vorodar
Word of warning, my cat exhibited similar behaviour shortly before it murdered me.
Omnomnomicon
A calico is just a tortie with white spots. Same craziness.
youwould
Apparently calico girls can be spicy or a little more ornery, but now she'll be your buddy for life!
mirasie
Get a cat tree to put beside your desk. That way kitty can still be with you but not on top of you. Worked for mine.

Probably already said, but put a shoebox on the desk next to the monitor.
BYERE
She looks like an absolute sweetheart <3
PhailRaptor
Keyboard defense: place a shoebox close by where the occupant can observe everything occurring. Bonus points if you can fit a blanket.
katanatripsis
+1 for patiently earning the trust of a cat. +5 for earning the love of a tortie. They’re one-person cats and kinda mean.
KatastrophicKitten
Calicos are notorious for bonding to only a chosen few! Congrats on the love!

My boyfriend's cat prefers me now. He calls her Benedict Lily
JustinSane6
+1 for correctly using fiancée instead of fiancé. (I’ll let the missing accent aigu slide)
abuseapostrophesandgetdownvoted
Finance me. Seriously, though, correcting bad and rewarding good grammar is my jam.
NappingSnorlax
Was typing it on my phone and wasny sure if it had an accent or not lol thanks though :)
JustinSane6
My phone autocorrects the accents and adds them. I assumed you were on a PC, and that was why.

You can get a clear shelf that sits over your keyboard to allow catto to feel like they are still in the way while u are still able to type
SweetMystique
My husband put a box on his desk. Cats can still be with him but now they dont walk across the keyboard as much
joemac65
I was going to suggest this.Also try a cat bed on the table.Our new kitten watches my son while he works from home online. She loves it
THEcableguy
Get a fake keyboard and put it above the one you have. That's what I used to have to do with my old cat lol
Dragonfury5
Exactly my suggestion too. If the current one gets warm be sure to plug the decoy in as well
adrianontherocks
+1,000,000 for letting the cat go at its own pace. Many people are not willing to deal with skittish cats the proper way.
adrianontherocks
I mean I can’t actually give you that many upvotes but if I could I would

An uncle was moving to england for work, and they have some pretty strict quarrantine rules, so he gave us his cat. After driving across the
mikeatike
country with the cat, which freaked him out. He hid in our attic for months and eventually if I was laying on my bed he would come join me.
mikeatike
But for a month or two it was just that, he would hide after cuddle time was done. Weird cat, tho. Uncle potty trained him and didn't tell
mikeatike
us, so it was a surprise to walk in to the bathroom and see him using it. Also he would leave dead rodents in the beds of people he liked.
qwiggles
Hell yeah, some cats are a slow burn, but it’s worth it. You’re it’s person now. Try not to make the finance too jealous.
GrandPubabofMoldistan
Remember it is technically your finances pussy so always mkae sure you play with it if she is okay with it. And also the cat :p

As opposed to my last boy, Charlie, who was an absolute slut from the very beginning (that’s how/why I got him. Called & he came running!)
DukeDarkwood
I, too, hate it when my money gets jealous.
wherearemytesticles
I, too, hate it when my cats take too long to burn.
igniskonig
Careful of the stocks' feelings.

To apologise, strap me with a bond.

Pro tip for video conferences: "The Blofeld". Have the camera at chest height, just showing you gently petting your cat. Speak ominously.

ILL GET YOU, GADGET
ArgonSpark
I think you mean "The Dr. Claw".
DuckyofDeath123
Sadly, and disgustingly, fewer people will know who that is. Because they're too young. Go go gadget midlife crisis!

Thanks, Dr. Evil!

You need to have a swivel chair, start the feed with the chair backwards and slowly turn to the camera with the cat.
razmann
i have the chair, and even a window behind me so i'm just a shadowy figure on the camera. but no cat yet
DuckyofDeath123
Buy a stuffed toy one, they behave better and more coworkers will laugh.
razmann
plus my apartment doesn't allow pets, so it's a win-win
mikeatike
That is actually a brilliant idea.

Step 1. Get cat

Gotta act the part. "step 1. Acquire feline."
myusernameisbrunhilda
Yes, thank you good sir/madam!

Dr. Claw!

I have a friend that can do a pretty good Dr. Claw voice, but I don't think they have a cat.
