There's a cat in my cube - what do I do now?
Coworker brought this cat here and asked me to watch over it. Fine.

So I asked the cat if he wanted to view anything on the web.

"Meow" he said, looking quizzical

I offered him some coffee

"Meow"

WHAT DOES THIS THING WANT FROM ME????

1. You can bring cats to work? And is it me, or is that nuts?
Mine hate going for rides.

7. I wish we could do that here...
... the only time we did have cats here was when a littler of kittens was discovered hidden in the warehouse. (We have a massive warehouse full of electronic parts)

The whoever got one had a kittne in a shoe box all day 'till they brought them home, some had to bring them back and forth to work for a few days because some of them needed bottle feeding. So we had cats in a few cubes.

Then finally the big boss got annoyed and said "Take 'em home!"

(understandably, as it was all about cats for a day or two and work wasn't getting done)

They were so cute. I wish I coulda got one. (Already have 4, I woulda gone for the 5th but my girl ain't down for it)

Heyo

16. Go to Meow.com
and see what the cat wants to do. Otherwise, download one of the aquarium screensavers and let the kit watch it.

17. Do you dislike cats?
Or are you just unused to them? Because they know. And they'll pester the hell out of those people just to be perverse.

My sister had a cat that had a run in with a person with a brick - the cat was left with an eye that was sort of filmed over and gooey. It was quite gross.

I had a friend who was 1) not into cats and 2) wierded out by this one's eye. Consequently every time he came over, the cat would sit and stare at him right at his feet. Which she never did to anyone else.

They just know. It's just being a cat. Meow back at it.
