Could you imagine if this happened in the office? There would be a riot. Coffee is one of those basic necessities that without the whole social contract of the office collapses. Managers no longer reign supreme, decorum is off the table and if there is one thing that everyone will experience equally, it is the surge of energy flowing through their bodies as their need for caffeine increases. But with all that being said, if this leopard were to roar in frustration of the lack of coffee, everyone would go silent. So moral of the story, bring a leopard or big cat if you know the office is about to run out of coffee…

Everyone has that moment in the office at some point in the week when HR comes around and says those magic words that turn a mediocre day into the best day of the week. Sometimes it is that pizza has arrived, other times it is that happy hour is upon you. But either way much like this squirrel losing its mind over the proposition of an acorn, the reaction is exactly the same. Pure elation and excitement that anything other than boring work is happening during a work day. We wish this for you today, and we wish it to be pizza.
