Over the past few months, so much has changed for everyone around the world. Even for our pets!

With people spending way more time at home now, pets have had to adjust to us being around, well, a lot. Do they like us invading all their free time, though? Here are some dynamics that have probably changed between you and your pets:

1. Did you used to typically work a 9–5 and spend most of your days in the office? During your workday, your pet took advantage of being home alone to watch their favorite shows and relax on the furniture. Now that you’re home, they’re not the biggest fan of you taking over the TV!

2. Still getting caught up with that long work day even at home? Well don’t forget to feed the cat! Maybe it’s time to bring back the automatic feeder.

3. Finally some free time! Yoga perhaps? But, not during your cat's bath time! Even pets would like some privacy.

4. Having a quarantine birthday? Invite some family over and celebrate! Not sure the cat will enjoy this though, you know they love their sleep.

5. Want to enjoy a nice day off, so you decided to sleep in? Remember when your parents would leave and you would invite friends over once they left? Surprise! Your cat does the same but they can’t while you’re still home!

6. Let's not forget how easy it is to get bored in quarantine. At least the two of you can be bored together.

Scene 1: A cat stretches on a couch. Scene 2: A human sits on the couch and thinks, "I'm bored" and a cat on the couch says, "Welcome to my life, human."
