The Neko House Desk understands who’s really in charge of your home, and helps you convince them to let you have some space too.

A big part of the appeal of working from home is that even if you’re still working for somebody else, you get much more control over your immediate environment. Want to play music during your shift, while also spending it all in your pajamas and setting the thermostat to whatever temperature you want? Go right ahead! No one is going to stop you.

However, while you may not have to worry about your personal freedoms being encroached on by fussy managers or inconsiderate coworkers, that still doesn’t make you the ultimate boss of your home office if you have a pet cat. As feline fans know all too well, their pets tend to think of themselves as being the higher-ranking half of the relationship, and so really it’s a matter of how much of your workspace they’ll let you use, since they’ll, of course, claim dominion over at least a part of it.

Unfortunately, no amount of attempted explaining will convey to your cat how it’s in their best interest too to let you work efficiently, so that you can earn the money that pays for their treats, toys, and other essentials. So instead, Japanese furniture and homewares company Bibilab has developed a compromise: the Neko House Desk.
