Keyboard Cat: The Real CEO of Your Work From Home Life

October 3, 2025

A woman sits at a wooden desk trying to work on her laptop while an orange tabby cat sits directly on the keyboard, staring at her with a smug expression. A coffee mug, potted plant, and scattered papers add to the cozy home office vibe with natural light streaming in.

Forget Elon Musk or Oprah. The true power players of the work-from-home world are sitting on your desk, shedding on your keyboard, and silently judging your snack choices. Yes—your cat is the real CEO of your home office. 🐾

Morning Meetings = Breakfast Demands

Who needs a 9 a.m. Zoom call when your cat insists on a daily “stand-up” (literally standing on your chest) until the breakfast agenda is fulfilled? Their management style may be aggressive, but hey, productivity spikes once kibble is served.

Office Chair? More Like Throne.

Let’s be honest: that ergonomic chair you splurged on? It wasn’t for you. It was for your feline overlord to claim during “important strategy sessions” (aka their fourth nap of the day). Hope you like typing while perched on the edge of the seat.

The Keyboard Is the Power Desk

Forget corporate corner offices. The true corner suite is smack in the middle of your keyboard, preferably during your most time-sensitive emails. It’s less “blocking progress” and more “reminding you who’s in charge.”

Lunch Break Surveillance

Sandwich? Salad? Leftover lasagna? Doesn’t matter—your CEO is watching closely, making sure company snacks meet strict quality standards (a.k.a. giving you The Stare until you share a bite).

Work-Life Balance, Cat Style

Cats excel at enforcing boundaries—usually by walking across your laptop and “accidentally” hitting send before you’ve finished your email. Consider it a lesson in delegation and knowing when to clock out.

At the end of the day, you may think you’re running the show, but the whiskered executive on your desk knows better. After all, the one signing off on your deadlines is the same one shredding your curtains.

An orange tabby cat lies stretched out on a laptop keyboard, facing the screen as if studying a spreadsheet with bar and pie charts. The desk has scattered papers, a coffee mug, and a small potted plant, with warm natural light filling the cozy home office scene.
