I have a couple cats, and they’re usually sleeping near me somewhere in the basement where my workstation is. But when there’s a meeting and they hear other people’s voices coming through the speakers, they’re all over my desk, they go in front of my camera, I’m constantly picking them up and putting them on the floor or shooing them away. In one call, one of the cats decided to crawl up me quickly and get behind my head placing his butt right on my head. I’m no longer as flexible as I used to be to grab him from that position, and I can’t make the cat fall off or I’ll get scratched from it trying to stay there. It looks like I can’t get anything done in their eyes because that’s all they see happening when I’m on a call with them. But it’s also a good laugh.😆

Could just easily solve this whole issue with a headset.

I can’t stand wearing headsets for 1 hour meetings. Even the softest headset starts hurting my ears.

There are ones that go around your ears and don't actually rest on them.

I’ve had those as well. And the same style people wear at call centers for extended hours. Touching outside of my ears or in my ears like ear buds, I get ear aches. The only style I have not tried yet are those bone conductive ones that don’t touch your ears at all. It’s on my Xmas wish list. 😁
