Office employee on a useless Teams meeting starts cleaning and talking nonsense to their cat throughout, only to find out they were not muted and have their boss hear and comment on it: 'No, you can't eat plastic. You tiny moron'

You know those at-home office meetings… the ones during which you don't have to turn on your camera or your mic, you know- the ones that feel completely unnecessary? Could have been an email instead? Yeah, those ones. You know what makes them better? Having cats. Cats somehow sense when you are in a meeting, and for some reason, cats want to be part of your Zoom meetings. We don't know why, but we don't argue. If this is what makes our cats cuddle with us, then we have no problem.

There is only one risk when it comes to this. Letting your cat distract you during a meeting means that… you sometimes, might forget that you're on camera or that your mic is on. You just don't think about it. Because you're not listening. You're just looking at your cat. And well, this person learned the consequences of that quite fast and quite hard. We've been there, friend, just not quite this badly.

Fluff. Chaos. Drama! Our weekly cat newsletter has it all - subscribe here.

We can't say that we have not been there. Because we have. Just… not quite this badly. Our cat has meowed during work meetings before, when we forgot the mic on, but we did not do the rest of it. And we don't know how showed your face back at work after this.
