Labor Day: When Your Cat Decides to Join the Workforce
Share
Because someone’s gotta nap through that 9-to-5.
Labor Day is a time to celebrate workers and their contributions to society. But this year, your cat has decided it’s their time to shine. After all, why should humans have all the fun with meetings, deadlines, and… TPS reports?
So grab your coffee, open your laptop, and brace yourself. Because Whiskers just updated his LinkedIn. 😼
📎 Cat Jobs, According to Your Cat
🧑💻 1. Remote Work Specialist
Your cat has mastered sitting directly on your keyboard and muting your Zoom call with their butt. Multitasking? Check. Tech-savvy? Well… they did accidentally send “ghnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn” to your boss. That’s a cover letter, right?
🐟 2. Seafood Quality Control Manager
No tuna shall go uninspected. Or un-smelled. Or un-licked. Sorry, Susan, your sushi lunch is now considered a team resource.
💤 3. Professional Nap Consultant
Need to optimize your rest schedule? Your cat offers paw-on experience in maximizing break times, especially in sunspots, on laundry, or across your tax documents.
📦 4. Inventory Supervisor
Any box that enters the household must be inspected, sat in, and shredded for quality assurance. This includes shoe boxes, Amazon packages, and your new purse. Nothing personal — it’s just business.
😼 5. Middle Management
Cats are natural-born middle managers: aloof, demanding, and oddly obsessed with performance reviews. “You fed me five minutes late today. That’s a write-up.”
