In this difficult time that is the quarantine, most of us have to work from home, which means we don't get to see our colleagues. However, there's the next best thing: our pets!
They are here for us to make our workday better. So we ask you, the Bored Panda community, to share your current furry, feathery, or scaley companions and tell us what it is that they do during the workday.
Hopefully, these pictures will make your day a little brighter.
Update: thank you all for your lovely submissions! The thread is closed now.

When You Work From Home And Your Manager Wants A Word With You

You don't always work from home, but when you do I want to sit on the keyboard. -the Most Important Cat in the World
Kanga9ine 5 years ago
Cats know what's up. This ones face says exactly what's on its mind..... "Why you wasting all that time on this stuff. You know the doink in the cubicle next to your little slice of dull captivity with no fresh air or windows is just going to take credit for this c**p you're doing. Feed me and hey, grab something from your stash of caned, pasta, uninteresting stuff and then try a cat nap. Let your mind go. I'll wake you when I want to be fed. I'd trade you for something you got but one of us has to get out alive. At least I don't use your toilet paper. We need more kitty litter by the way. Just pick some up next time you break quarantine and walk to the store. Poor Alexa is so overworked. Pick up something for yourself too. And move over. It's May nap time. Jeez". Yes. That's this guy. And I'd do it all for him because You don't ever want to p**s of a cat.

Proving His Belly Rub Is More Important Than My Meeting...

KC Gro 5 years ago
Looks like my cat. He will meow his head off and pull on my hands until I rub his belly. Anyone that says cats don't like their tummy rubbed has never seen yours nor mine. My 2 spoiled babies even like baths, they jump in the tub with me if I forget to shut the door tight. LOL
Barbara Baldwin 5 years ago
She looks just like mine every time I enter a room she's in. She was just diagnosed with a very rare condition. Don't ask me to name it. Her intestines are wrapped around her heart and lungs, causing labored breathing. She's lived with it for 10 years so far...

These are adorable birds: my dad used to have an African Ring-Neck Parakeet and she would sing beautifully when she was in a good mood.,
Peachymiss (Submission author) 5 years ago
They really are Jackie! My co-worker is an Indian Ring Neck Parrot and while he doesn't sing (although he loves squarking me the song of his people!) he's incredibly intelligent and makes me laugh everyday. They just have such individual personalities and sadly people underestimate birds all too often.

Aren't they awesome? She was feral. Humane Society fixed her as a young cat and clipped her ear and released her. They said she couldn't be socialized. It took a good 2 months. But somehow she chose me as her human. She doesn't like most people and will run and hide. But she never stops purring with me :).

She is banned to sleeping in the other room. Reason is she f***s with and try to eat/groom my hair while I'm sleeping. I have woken more than once to her sitting on my throat trying to take my hair band out. Then I inhale all her hair and almost die. She's gonna kill me one day. Haha!
