I do this already and credit my new kitten - who is still 0 years old according to insurance until February next year - with the initiation, formation and execution of my workday schedule in 2020.

She has made me more productive in the morning by waking me up at 4-5 AM to serve her tuna. She then makes sure that I am available for her playtime immediately after her breakfast. This requires me to become active as well since she has a talent for "jump-chasing" dangle toys which could land her into the wall or couch if I am not attentive to how I dangle the toy itself. A lot like a bull in a rodeo and I'm the matador, which is as much of an artistry as it is an athletic event.

That leads to an earlier caffeine intake too which then gets me started in my work earlier. She might have incredible deficits in risk estimation and must evaluate said risk by the "one paw tap" policy to determine the overall threat on anything that isn't her body as well as maintains an active suspicion of the furniture being alive, she nonetheless is proven to be highly intelligent in owner management, operational planning and tactical strategy disciplines. We all have our talents.

Yeah, they'll definitely train you though. Make sure you can tolerate the bootcamp before getting one. I start getting marching orders from the kitten as early as 3 AM and learned how to "say no" from it. 😂🤣 BTW love the article. :)
