I’m lucky. I have a massive desk with lots of empty space. At one point, it was a school desk for like a principal or administrator that we picked up at the surplus auction, so it’s both wide (about 7 feet from left to right) and deep (probably 4 feet deep). So when it’s time for my cat to get nosy and investigate what I’m doing, she’s got plenty of room to roam around or flop down.
Still, it’d be nice if she had a place to go where she could watch me work and not be in the way, so I’ve been thinking about picking up one of these PC Cat Beds from Etsy crafter alpinebutterfly. It’s expensive (to me), but it’s made from low impact, high-quality materials, features a very cute paint job, and all the hazardous and/or pointy stuff from the inside of the monitor’s hard plastic casing has been removed (which is worth the cost of purchase alone, as the guts of any TV/monitor are always kind of unpleasant).
If I knew for sure my cat would go for it, I’d turn one of my old monitors into a cat bed for her. I think she prefers to be in the way, though! Generally, cats love to be in the way whenever possible, because that means you can’t ignore them.
