Hindrances to productivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently I’ve had to help a friend take care of their cats while they were away (“cat-sitting”). This experience has allowed me to understand the many memes from the internet about a cat getting in the way of daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Don’t worry, my cats are just like dogs”<\/p>-my friend as they left<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The very first day, the cats were weary of my apartment, but quickly started exploring my humble abode. They didn’t seem like much, just sitting and laying in certain spots. I followed the instructions my friend gave me and had food and water out<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time I would sit down in front of my computer to do some coding, there will be a sudden cat on my desk blocking my monitor or keyboard within 10 minutes. Move them aside, and they reappear. My personal project took a huge dive in progress due to these feline interruptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, I have only had to take care of dogs, but this was a different experience. Unlike canines, the cats would take their time with their food. Nibbling on a little bit here and there, while dogs would usually just eat their fill until the next meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a few mornings, I would wake up to some furry entities crawling around my bed, informing me that it was breakfast time. On some nights, I would endure some loud cat calls that spookily sounded similar to a child crying (I guess it is Halloween month). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, these pets would be in my care for only a few more days. I don’t know if I will miss them, but at least I will be able to do some coding in some peace soon. Also will have to do some cleaning with all the cat hair left over. Perhaps I can use this experience to fuel an idea for a future coding project (some sort of cat-sitting app maybe?).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
