The working life is a tough one, so tough in fact that it seems to be taking a toll on our cat children even though they do not lift a finger to help us, not at home or at work. Nonetheless, we have this hilarious collection of totally tuckered out cats taking a moment for themselves after giving it their all while you were at the office all day.

Cats are highly emotional and spiritual creatures, a fact which many a cat pawrent would be quick to back up. So it is only natural that when they bond to their hooman and their hooman is going through something like being wrung out from a long day, that they too will feel rather sleepy. Some have come to think that this display of sleepiness is some sort of attempt at sarcasm. As though they are mocking their pawrents for being wimps.

And while that might be true in a minority of cases (cats are after all notoriously sassy), we believe in the majority of cases this is a show of sympathy. To show their pawrents that they see them, they support them, and if they want they are invited to nap with them.
