cat of very little brain, part N
Jul. 11th, 2011 10:28 amI usually keep my "office" door closed when I'm at work, partly to reduce the noise level[1], partly to increase the apparent space available in here, and partly to make it feel more like I'm actually At Work. The door seals out sound pretty well but is glass-paned.
Like all cats, Chaos is disturbed by closed doors, especially when there's obviously something happening on the other side. So, when he happens to wander through the living room and see me at work in the "office," he gets agitated and starts meowing and pawing at the door.
This happens a couple of times a day. And so, a couple of times a day, I walk the fifteen feet to the kitchen and stick my head out into the hall to call him around, so he can stop worrying that there is Something Happening that he's not involved in.
I keep hoping that eventually he'll pick this up on his own. Then again this is the cat that would occasionally get lost in a 600 sqft apartment.
[1] On both sides: no AC means more open windows means more road noise leaking into the office from the rest of the house, and I expect my machine-gun keyboard is kind of annoying to anyone who's not me.
