Some of us are born with the brilliant ability to pawcrastinate whenever we want to. In fact, it can be so pervasive that we cannot choose when we pawcrastinate, making it tough to tackle the workloads that have been put on our shoulders. However, there are those among us who have the opposite problem and simply cannot stop working once they are on a roll. This is equally problematic because no matter who you are, you will eventually need a break to let your brain breathe and allow those brilliant thoughts to refresh themselves in your mind.

And for you hardworking hoomans we made this list of brain-busting animal memes, that are so distracting, confusing and out of control that you will have little choice other than to stop working, wait a while until your brain has been restored to normal functionality and then return to your work. Good luck.

Rats have been working tirelessly for the last few decades to develop their technology to control the mins of canines. This has come as a result of years of hoomans harassing rats, setting traps and generally making them feel unwanted. But in that time the rats have learned that one creature manages to consistently solicit food from hoomans and as such they have turned their attention to brain control. Because if you can’t beat em, join em.

You can let this one sink in for a while. For it is rather unique to be in a position to both enjoy a good slide in the whip and to be an owner of a tackle box at the same time. It is a confusing conundrum that should keep you occupied for the next few moments.
