22 Hilarious Posts Of Cats Who’ve Given Up On The Work Week And Are Calling It Quits

A rather unique attribute that cats have, is knowing when enough is enough for them. They have the ability to apply themselves to something and make it work, but also know when it is an appropriate time to quit while they are ahead. And considering the tough week we have all had, it might be wise to listen to the clever cats we have brought together for this list of hilarious posts of cats who have given up on the work week and are calling it quits.

From the clever cats who are smart enough to know that setting up their own social media profiles will only result in their pawrents sending them feline funnies and commenting that the stupid thing the cat is doing in the image is what they do too, to the wholesome cat who is working on comforting herself after a calamitous week at the office with a cute cuddle as she naps, to the funny feline who has decided to become ungovernable instead of quitting altogether and is now waiting patiently behind a see through curtain to pounce at passers-by.

    yobi @grape_son Today is career day, and a kid came in dressed up in cat ears. When the kids asked why she wanted to be a cat she said, "Well, cats get to sleep all day and that's all I really want to do."

    Now this is an example of a hooman who even from a young and tender age has resigned itself to the life of a cat and hence calling it quits on the grind far before it has fully started for it. Which might be a good thing overall, they will never know the gripe of the grind.

    A Cat is Forcibly Arrested After Stealing and Eating from a Dining Table
    via catcurio

    POV: you after being told that the project you did a rush job on all week has been scrapped and all that hard work you put in was totally for nothing. And as they call security to drag you out of the meeting room before you savagely attack your boss, you scream that you are giving up for the rest of the week.
