The cat wants you to sit cross legged while you write. Thought that was pretty obvious. Good cat.

I cannot clear my speakers. They aren't so much music output devices , more furry perching posts and monitor facial grinders placeholders.

Cats domesticated monkeys so we would eventually build them chairs that we would then have to warm for them.

Ah I see the error here, you're assuming <checks notes> that it is YOUR chair.

That chair is clearly designated for Editorial Staff only; I'm led to believe the Word Minions have a perfectly good standing desk to utilise 😾

I had a calico cat and my vet (female) said they were like red headed green eyed women.

Buy another chair, it’s the safest solution.
