Working from an armchair with a cat in the vicinity, one actually needs *two* armchairs, because of the following routine:
1. Sit down and start to work in first chair
2. Cat comes and falls asleep in my lap
3. Get up to do something, cat takes up vacant space
4. Move to second chair
5. Cat wakes up, moves over and falls asleep in my lap again
[repeat steps 3-5]
