Remote work has become part of everyday life for many people. While working from the couch or kitchen table has its perks, it also means sharing office space with pets who don’t quite understand boundaries. One viral video perfectly captures the familiar struggle of a cat owner, offering a humorous look at what working from home is like with a very needy feline.
Cat can’t stop interrupting owner during work from home
The video by @cleothecitykitty shows Clemmie, an energetic kitten, who clearly believes his owner’s attention should be reserved for him alone. As his owner sits down to work on her laptop, Clemmie immediately inserts himself into the situation. On-screen text reads, “POV: working from home with a kitten.”
Instead of allowing a quiet work session, Clemmie paws at the laptop keyboard, rubs his body across the screen, and positions himself directly between his owner and her work. At one point, he even leans in to lick the laptop screen, as if trying to compete with whatever has captured her focus. His persistent interruptions make it clear that productivity is not on his agenda.
Despite her attempts to continue working, the kitten’s efforts eventually pay off. His owner gives in, pausing her tasks to shower Clemmie with affection. The moment ends with kisses and cuddles, confirming that the kitten got exactly what he wanted. In the caption, she affectionately refers to him as “a little stinker,” acknowledging both his mischievous behavior and his undeniable charm.
One viewer joked that Clemmie was practicing “meowcro management.” Meanwhile, another wrote that the kitten’s expression seemed to say, “How dare you give attention to something that isn’t me.” Others simply admired his charm, calling him a “cute menace” and admitting they had watched the clip dozens of times.
Some commenters pointed out how determined Clemmie seemed. One joked that he looked ready to “bite the screen” if necessary. Another suggested the kitten needed his own mini computer so he could feel included. Many agreed on one thing: it would be nearly impossible to get any work done with such a handsome and demanding coworker around.
