No restrictions in my space.
Charlie, the cat hangs out in there much of the time whether I am there or not. The dogs follow me in the room and stay while I am working in there.
Patches, is long gone now, but he used to pay on the ironing board right up against the iron. I have no idea how he did not singe his fur.
I do have lint rollers and a broom. Bare concrete floors make it easy to sweep up the fur and any random pins and needles.
I enjoy the company of my critters.
