Every office should have a meowndatory office cat.

We love it when workplaces adopt an office cat. It's like letting the cutest coworker you've ever had walk in through the door and instantly becoming your work's entire "Happiness" department of HR. No need for a human to organize a happy hour when you have a kitten roaming the corridors. It's all workers have ever wanted. We should know, because we have the best office cats in the world.

First of all, we have Toby the tabby cat. He's quite the lorge chonker, dragging his weight everywhere he goes. He actually has an official title: CPO, which stands for Chief Paperweight Officer, because he's the most precious paperweight we have around here. Then, we have Baroness, the black cat. She's everything Duchess from The Aristocats is, just in inverted colors. She's a true royal, prancing like she owns the place - and she totally does. And lastly, we have Patootie the itty bitty kitty. He's still a smol baby cat; we don't know what kind of character he'll have when he grows up, but we're sure he'll be as cute as he is now.

All three are a menace and a blessing, and we love them all so much. That's why we're so happy to learn that another office, somewhere out there, adopted a fluffy mascot. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved. More offices should raise cats, and also raise them in ranks to basically manage everything.

    He gets to be our office cat for a while because he's so young and needs fed every 4 hours. My coworkers son will be adopting him when he gets old enough.

  • It was obvious the orange cat jokes would come, and they're right here. Because, you know, we all had at least one boss who gave very orange cat behavior vibes. You know, this vibe of hearing but not listening, because there's basically nothing between these ears, nothing behind those eyes. Just like our beloved orange cats, who exist on the line of waiting for the single orange brain cell that bounces between all orange cats. Some never get to have a turn at all, and they have an ignorant and blissful life regardless.

    vunderbeaver I feel like if he shakes his head you hear the rattling of a loose walnut

  • Obviously, his name is Clark and he works in an office, so there's got to be at least one Superman joke that comes with it. It's mandatory.

    thedavidnotTHEDAVID Clark is most certainly plotting a snack heist right now. Maybe even some aggravated cuddling.
