To those of you with pets…

I wasn’t sure how to label this, so I’ll just ask for advice. I start my new job in a few weeks and I’m converting our spare bedroom into my office. Our spare bedroom currently acts as one of my cats “room” as I keep them separated while I’m not home. They get along but can fight at times so this is just the safer option for them. My biggest concern with this is keeping my workspace clean and safe while not working. While I obviously don’t mind if my cat walks on my desk, she is very mischievous and likes to play with things she shouldn’t, especially if it’s something she has never seen before. When not actively working, do you guys cover your workspace or move things to keep pets out of them?? I can’t decide what to do and I really don’t want to remove things at the end of the work day or if I go out of the house. TYIA 🖤
