How to Create a Cat-Friendly, Organized Workspace
Working from home with a cat can be both rewarding and challenging. While you want your workspace to be efficient and organised, your feline friend often craves attention and a cosy spot nearby. However, keeping your desk tidy while ensuring your cat has a comfortable place requires a balance between functionality and feline comfort. The key is to create a workspace that works for both you and your cat. Here’s how you can achieve a productive, clutter-free space that keeps your cat happy and your workflow smooth, using products like the DeskPurrch™.
1. Designate a Space for Your Cat
To keep your workspace organised and distraction-free, it’s essential to give your cat a designated area. Products like the DeskPurrch™ provide an elevated, cosy spot for your cat to rest while staying close to you. By giving your cat their own space, you avoid having them hop onto your keyboard, sit on important papers, or disrupt your workflow by seeking attention at inopportune times.
Place the DeskPurrch™ near your desk so your cat can enjoy your presence without intruding. Not only will this help keep your workspace tidy, but it also helps reduce stress for both you and your cat, as they feel included but don't interfere with your tasks.
2. Use Vertical Space for Organisation
Maximising vertical space is one of the most effective ways to keep your workspace organised without crowding your desk. Wall-mounted shelves, a small bookcase, or floating storage solutions can store office supplies like notebooks, pens, and chargers while leaving plenty of room on your desk for a designated cat corner.
Additionally, vertical space can be beneficial for your cat. Cats love climbing and perching, so incorporating a vertical element like a cat tree or an elevated spot for them to explore ensures that they stay entertained without encroaching on your workspace.
3. Cable Management Solutions (Coming Soon)
Cats are naturally drawn to dangling cords and cables, which can quickly lead to a mess—not to mention a potential hazard for your cat. Investing in cable organisers, clips, or cord covers helps keep your cables tucked away, reducing both clutter and temptation for your cat.
This is a product solution we’re currently considering to offer soon! To learn more about upcoming products like this, visit our Coming Soon page to stay updated on future launches that will help you create an organised, cat-friendly space.
4. Keep Clutter to a Minimum with Storage Solutions (Coming Soon)
Clutter is the enemy of productivity. While your cat is a welcome companion, keeping other non-essential items off your desk is crucial. Use drawer dividers, baskets, or small organisers to store items you don’t need immediate access to. This keeps your desk surface clear, giving your cat more room to rest comfortably without disturbing your work area.
We’re also exploring the idea of offering desk risers—a possible solution that could help raise your monitor or laptop to a more ergonomic height, freeing up space underneath for additional storage. This would not only declutter your workspace but could also create more room for your cat to sit nearby without crowding your desk. If this sounds useful to you, check out our Coming Soon page for more details on potential future products like these.

Creating a cat-friendly, organised workspace is all about balancing productivity with your cat’s comfort. By designating spaces like the DeskPurrch™, utilising vertical storage, and managing cables effectively, you can create a workspace that works for both you and your feline companion, all while staying organised and productive.
