So, we all know at this point that cats will always be in places they shouldn't be. They do whatever they want, and they don't ask for permission. They'll sit on your fresh laundry, they will stretch out and chill right on top of your new plant, they will climb into your closet in the middle of the night, get stuck, and then call out to you to save them because even the smartest cats are idiots at heart. 

And sometimes, they will just… show up in random places. Like this cat, who decided to walk into a lab randomly and become head scientist. It was easy. He really didn't have to do much. Walking into the room was enough to get people to pause and take pictures of it. We call that commanding a high level of respect. And funny. We also call that very funny.

    Instantly, a pause. You have to pause, stop everything that you are doing and admire this beauty. This is a cat who is on a mission. A world domination mission. We always underestimate them, thinking that they are too lazy to try to take over the world. But now they are looking into the scientific method… we should be very worried.

    See?! What else can this be if not scientific research?! And in full daytime too. They are so confident, they are not even trying to hide their endeavors! Look at this little intimidating scientist. Before we know it, cats really will take over the world, and we will just be busy sitting there and thinking about how cute they are.

    Brown - Dr. Jen M @AwesomeBiota The cat's name is Carleton, and he's the SMU cat! He has bells on his collar and wanders the halls of the university. I have no idea what proper protocol is when spotting the cat, but he also has a GPS collar so his owner (?) presumably knows where he is Stephen Moore @60thMeridian - Sep 10 Carleton the cat making the rounds at @smuhalifax. 12:08 AM Sep 24, 2021 · Twitter for iPhone 169 Retweets 9 Quote Tweets 3,943 Likes

    Font - Dr. Jen M ... @AwesomeBiota I'm glad Carleton has brought joy to so many people. If I encounter Carleton again on campus (hopefully not in the lab..), I'll take more pictures. University cats: they need to be a thing. 6:19 AM - Sep 24, 2021 - Twitter for iPhone 56 Retweets 8 Quote Tweets 2,190 Likes

    Font - Dr. Jen M @AwesomeBiota Replying to @cbahlai the cat just roams the campus. he has his own access FOB that lets him go from building to building, and because the teaching lab door was open he just...strolled in. I have no idea how often this happens, but I ushered him out pretty quickly. Iol. 12:47 AM - Sep 24, 2021 - Twitter Web App

    Font - Dr. Jen M @AwesomeBiota Replying to @RachelGregorPhD and @cbahlai he does! I have no idea what it actually accesses, but it's taped onto his collar, along with an ID tag. I'm guessing it also has GPS capabilities so the person in charge of Carleton can figure out where he is. lol 12:53 AM · Sep 24, 2021 - Twitter Web App
