And if your cat had a job, what would it be?

It's an age-old question that most cat pawrents ask themselves. But just like people, cats are individuals with a special set of skills, with different characters, and a variety of pawfessional aspirations. So each cat would have had a different kind of job. When asked, the online feline family responded with the best, cutest, and funniest ways.

We can tell you with a high level of cat confidence about our cats and what professions they have. First, we have Booker, the master chonker cat who loves his cat bad more than anything in the world. He would be a mattress salesman, because he's both an expert on anything that has to do with comfortable sleeping, and he's absolutely adorable. No one would say "no" to him. Maybe this is why he gained all those extra pounds in the first place… Nevermind that, because there's also Darcy. She's our resident calico queen, made of zoomies and fairy dust. She would probably be the best cat barista. She's already acting as if she runs on caffeine, but she's also the nicest and most cordial cat we've ever known. She'd be a great service to a cute coffee place as a purrista.

“We need to test every soft surface in this house. Otherwise, how would we be sure if they all fit for a cat? Every soft and comfortable place in the house must be cat-approved.”

“All boxes must be fittin' for sittin'. Cats must always make sure that the ancient ritual of ‘If I Fits, I Sits’ must be able to be performed correctly. Now, leave me be in my box.”

“They say that all things must go to the lab for testing when you have a Labrador. But they never say that all these things should go to the factory to be feline-approved. It's a discrimination in the workforce.”
