33 Pets to Boost Your Productivity While Working From Home

The world feels a little overwhelming right now. With social distancing measures in effect due to the recent outbreak, folks are staying home in an effort to keep themselves and others safe.

While not everyone has the privilege of working from home, we wanted to shed a little bit of light on an otherwise dark situation: a lot of pets are more than happy to help their humans get acclimated to their new remote work conditions. They may not be the most diligent co-workers, but CFOs — Chief Fluff Officers — provide invaluable emotional support.
