As coronavirus spreads and greater efforts are made to protect the vulnerable, more of us are working from home in an attempt to self-isolate.
It’s all a bit stressful and scary. Plus we’re having to adjust to all the distractions that come along with working from home.
But there’s a big plus side to working from home: suddenly we get to spend more time with our pets.
To celebrate a lovely part of home-working, people have been sharing photos of their #QuarantineCats on Twitter, sharing pics of their new kitty coworkers helping to get the job done.
