Totally agree, it's just considerate design for family members who walk on four legs. Makes you wonder why more people don't appreciate that nice touch, right?

Oh man, I feel that... if I tried to wait till I was done with something, I'd probably forget to text back at all. My brain just drops tasks like hot potatoes sometimes.

Totally true about the hard edge pressure. I read that constant pressure on the forearm can actually compress a nerve there over time. A soft pad is such a cheap and easy fix for that.

You're naming the exact disconnect that drives me nuts.

Honestly, when claire836 said to embrace the chaos as mindfulness, it totally resonated with me. My cat always chooses corpse pose to curl up on my stomach, turning final relaxation into a test of absolute stillness. Tbh, I've had to freeze in half-moon pose because he decided to rub against my standing leg, and balancing suddenly became a survival skill. Those interruptions honestly make the session more memorable than any perfectly executed flow. Ngl, I've started calling him my furry yoga buddy because his antics keep me grounded in the moment.
