20 Hissterical Memes of Meownager Cats Overseeing Your Workday From Your Keyboard

Your new manager works from home and sits on your keyboard.

Monday morning and your cat has been promoted to manager without consulting you. You sit down to start the week and they're already at the desk, planted on your keyboard like they have a full calendar of meetings. The laptop opens, they sit on it. The notebook comes out, they sit on that too. Oversight has begun.

Every email now has to go through them first. You try to type and they step on the keys like they're adding notes. You reach for the mouse and they rest a paw on your hand to let you know that was not approved. The staring is constant. Purrformance reviews will be based entirely on how much attention you're giving them.

You attempt to move them. They return immediately and sit down harder. You adjust your position. They adjust with you. Now they're loafed across your workspace, purring like they just wrapped up a long call. The tail is in the way, the trackpad is covered, and you are working at a speed that suggests morale is low.

At some point they curl up directly on your notes and fall asleep mid-shift. You weren't planning on taking a break, but management has made an executive decision. Monday purrductivity now depends on whether or not the boss wakes up.

This cat is always reminding you who’s actually in charge. You might think you’re running things, but one look and a well-timed sit on your stuff says otherwise. They show up, take over your space, and make it clear you’re working around them now. It’s subtle, but the message gets across every time. The power dynamic shifts the second they decide to settle in.

You can always count on a cat to give you a thorough purrformance review at the end of the day. They’ll remind you that treat distribution has been lacking and that your petting efforts need serious improvement. The feedback is constant, and usually delivered by sitting directly on you until the situation is corrected. Expectations are high, and they’re not afraid to let you know when you’re falling behind.

Cats will micromanage you to no end. They show up the second you sit down, supervise everything you’re doing, and make sure you’re handling things the way they prefer. Try to move something and they’ll adjust it back. Try to get comfortable and they’ll settle right where you need to be. There’s always a quiet level of oversight happening, even if you didn’t ask for it.
