Update: Had to pick between muting myself or locking Momo out, and I chose wrong
Last Tuesday I had a final round interview on Zoom and my cat Momo started screaming at my closed bedroom door 4 minutes in. I picked up my laptop and let her in instead of hitting mute, and she walked straight across the keyboard and dropped a half dead moth on my trackpad mid sentence. Should I have just locked her out and dealt with the yelling, or was letting her in the right call?
