CINCINNATI (AP) Olivia Hinerfeld s dog Lincoln and Kate Hilts cat Potato have something in common: They both like to interrupt Zoom calls as their owners work from home.
“Sometimes it s better to preemptively put him on your lap so he can fall asleep, says Hilts, a digital consultant in the Washington, D.C., area.
Jealous of the attention that Hinerfeld is paying to her video conference call, Lincoln, a golden retriever, will fetch “the most disgusting” tennis ball he can find from his toy crate to drop into the lap of the Georgetown University Law School student.
For many dogs, this is life as it was meant to be: humans around 24/7, walks and treats on demand, sneaking onto beds at night without resistance. Cats many of whom, let s be honest, were already socially distancing before humans knew what that was are more affectionate than ever, some now even acting hungry for attention.
