Take a paw-sitive cue from them
While this is not a possibility in offices just yet, those working out of their homes fully or partly can do well with a pet around. Richa Verma, a financial consultant, voices that as she reveals, “My dog was literally my social support for most part of the pandemic, especially when ewe had little or no interaction with anyone else. I can’t let her out of my sight now and so whenever I work, it’s my laptop and my dog on my lap. Except for the odd barking, it’s no distraction and I find that I refocus my energies better.”
Imagine a space where you have sip on coffee, hit the laptop and have purring sounds all around you! That’s the scene at the cat café in Andheri, where people choose to work in the company of the felines. Lamya Kapadia of the cat café shares more. She says, “We see this happening for a lot of corporate folks and even with those who have started their own business. They love to come in, chill and also work. They even do zoom calls with the animals around. The cats video bomb them, but they don’t mind. I guess having the cats around makes for a much-needed destressing feeling.”
