Use the desk for actual work (and not treat it as decorative furniture)
I laughed out loud because I recently moved all of the stuff off the desk I don't use so my cat could sit under the mini split heater without knocking my mouse and keyboard onto the floor and annoying me… while I work from the (guest) bed (in the living room, where it doubles as my sofa).

Work comfy, everybody!*
*… but don't work in the bed you sleep in if you can help it.

Immediately mute work groups after stepping out of the office
If you have an iPhone, you can set this up to happen automatically at quittin' time or when you leave the office. (This might also be doable on Android, I don't know.) I recommend using different lockscreens, homescreen layouts, and wallpapers to pretend you have an entirely separate work phone. (I lock myself out of Teams and Outlook at 4:45pm exactly and my coworkers know they can't get in touch with me until 7:45am the next morning… when I will be in the staff room making my tea, anyway, so they might as well just talk to me in person.)

Yes ...

I've also seen people use defunct laptops as cat beds, because cats like the heat and the sound of the fan, even if the computer doesn't actually work anymore.
