'Ok I Located A Cat': Landlord 'Hires' A Cat To Deal With Mouse Problem In Hilarious Text Exchange (Viral Twitter Thread)

If anyone has ever dared tell you that cats are lazy and useless pets, you show them this twitter thread and prove them wrong. Because they are wrong. Because while it's true that, for the most part, cats are heckin' lazy, there are some cats out there who are absolute purrfessionals. And they really work hard. We have heard of a cat who works at a car shop and greets literally every customer that comes to the door. We have heard of a cat who works at an optometrist office and spends his day wearing tiny glasses and making kids feel safer during their appointments. We have even heard as a cat who works at a fish shop, and no, the cat doesn't spend his day eating fish, it guards the shop from other cats who want the fish. 

And yet, today, we have the most stunning example of a purrfesional cat. Literally a cat for hire who has been brought in by a landlord to take care of a mouse problem. This might actually be the most hissterical text exchange we have ever seen.

    There is so much going on in this text exchange that we don't even know what to begin responding to. So, we will start with this - we demand updates. Please. We desperately want pictures of this cat and the whole story told in as many details as possible after it's done.

    Font - S JL JL landlord Hi k Do either of you have access to a cat? Nope landlord no just my dog who i think does not know how to kill mice... Hmmm are you against a cat coming in for a few weeks? landlord coming in where? Cats catch mice and the smell of a cat deters mice from ever coming. Back.

    Yep. So, so much goes on in this exchange, and we are not surprised in the slightest that it went viral. More than anything, we think that the thing we appreciate the most about this exchange is how much respect this landlord has for this friggin' cat. She is really being treated like the purrfesional that she is.
