Making it to Thursday without losing your cool at work is a wondrous achievement, but for those of us on the edge of a freakout we made this collection of funny cat memes to help fend off the madness before it is too late.

The work week is a long and tough mistress and there is little that we can do to change that. But what we can do is take measures to make it slightly more manageable than it usually is. Sometimes that means choosing the simpler tasks in your to-do list and other times that means taking a break to look at some funny cat memes before the next mass madness event is caused by you and your freakout. A solid solution to the madness and one that we fully advocate for seeing as it is low impact, highly healing and a great way to let your mind drift away into a world of cats.

The kind of world where there is no work, there are no office buildings and there are not useless stores filled with useless things to buy. The kind of world where every street is filled with fur licking salons, freshly caught birds, rodents and insects and the occasional cat nip den for when life gets on top of you.

So this is step one in the healing process. You simply cannot continue your day while you are being bombarded with inane questions and comments. Your frazzled pre-freakout brain simply cannot handle it. Especially if you are serious about fending off your impending freakout. So start by putting this meme or a message of similar effect as your email signature and Slack status and then you can begin this healing journey the way that it was intended. If you fail to do so you risk being unnecessarily interrupted part way through and ruining any progress you might have made.

Dang, not gonna lie, it would be nice if whoever had our voodoo doll could just get on with the work for us. It is almost as much torture as being poked and prodded anyway. Heck, it might even be more painful considering that the work week lasts far longer than any poking and prodding session ever could. At least that way we would be more subjected to the work, rather than actively choosing to do it. Meaning we can kinda sit back and focus on the pain a bit more than the strain. It might not be a lot but it certainly is something.
