Teams meetings and Groucho

[code-witch]

Groucho is a a little show off. He likes to catch toy mice, and then strut around with them in his mouth, yowling with his mouth full: "Look at me! Look at me! I'm a ferocious hunter"

Yeah sure, Nimrod. If I was a toy mouse I'd be terrified. He likes an audience and so he has taken a keen interest in interrupting my Teams meetings to the point where I have to preface my presence with a disclaimer about my cat.

Jiji often joins me in Teams meetings. I won't see her for hours, but as soon as she hears voices she'll come check it out. I usually have to remove her from my desk once or twice to continue the meeting. I'm surprised how few people have actually said anything about it or responded at all. Maybe even just one person (who also loves it now when he hears Jiji meowing on the phone as she's so often around and he calls quite often). I guess most people simply don't care about me, my cat and my big ass Lego AT-AT.

Groucho became such a fixture at our regular meetings for one project that in his absence people would ask where he was and if he was okay. But also Groucho goes out of his way to be the center of attention and generally impossible to ignore.

I sometimes say "ah, here comes Jiji for some advanced tech support."
MEOW MEOW MEOOOWWW!!!
"Alright, so any questions?"
