Twitter Users Share The Funniest Reasons They Think Their Pets Would Get Fired From Their Jobs

Our pets are little hooligans. We know it, they know it, everyone knows it. And we love them anyway - not in spite of that but because of us. Dogs being drama queens who can't stop chewing on random couches, cats being little rascals who purposefully destroy the things we love, birds launching themselves into every single boiling pot of soup they come across… that's all part of being pet owners. We have not only accepted this behavior. We have signed up for it.

But no employer would. You know, in your heart, that as much as you love your animals, each and every single one of them would get fired instantly if they ever got a job. And they would be able to get a job. Yes, they would. They're too cute not to. But the second the cuteness wears off… the firing notice will come.

Let's see… our cat would get fired from her job for multiple reasons. Sleeping all day, not doing anything, constantly taking both snack and catnip breaks, yelling at everyone for no reason, biting everyone's ankles for no reason, and, of course, for doing it with no shame while staring the boss right in the face.

"She would never show up on time…"

Honestly, if we could… we would never show up on time either. Who wants to get out of bed when it's so cold outside and our blankets are so warm and our pets are feeling so heckin' cuddly? Why would we do that to ourselves? Might be worth getting fired over.
