I want that report on my desk / right meow
A Business Cat post.
Working from home, your cat schedules a meeting on your keyboard. Attendees: you. Agenda: lying on the space bar. It overruns, through your actual meeting, until he decides it's over. Your manager needs the report by Friday. On Friday he's unavailable. On Monday he asks why it's late, and knocks your coffee off the desk while he's asking. Your landlord ignores you for three months, then turns up at seven in the morning unannounced to ask why the hallway is untidy. He leaves without looking at the boiler. Very cat. Your nan runs Christmas the same way: everyone must be in the room, then she shuts herself in the kitchen, then she appears only to criticise the gravy and leave again. **Why it caught on:** a cat in a shirt and tie became the boss who runs the office the way a cat would. Anyone who has worked for someone unpredictable recognised the management style at once.
