Q5: How do you deal with noisy pets when you’re on work calls? Any funny stories of pets interrupting? #StetChat

A5: If I were on a call with one of my current clients, and any of the birds were being loud, the client would probably just remark on it and maybe ask about them. Since I'm a birder and my clients tend to be, as well. #StetChat

A5. Yes. Diana interrupted during a Zoom call where I was among several headline contest winners. She jumped into my chair and blocked my camera. More than once. Thankfully it was more hilarious than anything. #StetChat

A5: Peri isn't a noisy cat so that's not usually a problem. in 2020, when we were on lockdown, it was very common for Tor's meetings to include pets. Peri was nearly constantly in my arms at that point (long story) and I took many meetings with her in full view.

A5 (2): I did have to end a meeting early one time because Leon got scared of something and jumped into my lap. He is not small. Things were knocked over. All attendees were concerned and agreed that Leon needed immediate comfort, not a longer meeting. #StetChat
