So yesterday, I’m on a Zoom call, right? Camera on, coffee in hand, pretending to be professional. Midway through my “strategic insights” speech, my cat decides to *parkour* off the bookshelf behind me—takes down a plant, my Wi-Fi router, and half my credibility in one leap. Everyone gasps, I freeze, then the screen goes black. Honestly, at this point, I think my cat just handed in my resignation for me. Ever had your pet ruin your “serious” work moment like that?

My husband developed a horrible cat allergy and now my cats are living with my mom in another state. My husband does have asthma that has lessened as he got older but a few years ago my cats have been triggering him horribly to where he needs to use his pump often. I really miss my cats. Is there hope? We have a pretty big backyard , could i build something for them there? Do i have any options? My mom is getting older and it’ll be hard for her to care for them

Does anybody have a spouse with a pet they got before you met that you aren’t as close to? My husband got this cat before we met and he’s had it ever since. She’s cute. She’s a Savanah cat but I’m 100% a dog person and not a cat person. This sounds kind of mean but if he gave away his cat tomorrow I wouldn’t feel sad. I love animals so naturally I am good to all but I’m not going to love them the way I love dogs. It feels like it’s a kid that’s not urs lol. Continued:

Sharing for any other pregnant cat ladies who were looking for an excuse to get a litter robot- they just announced a partnership to make them FSA/HSA eligible with pregnancy as a covered condition. Ours felt stupid expensive initially but has been soo worth it. A good option if you have extra funds left to spend before end of the year! 🐱 https://www.litter-robot.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21765639756&gbraid=0AAAAAD_gfQN7Pl_vWWGeiqra0yho7w0CV

12 weeks old brother and sister up for adoption from downtown JC.. Nimbus and Jupiter were rescued in the snow. I’m socializing them and they are doing great, Nimbus (grey girl) is especially outgoing. They are being fostered with Purrfect Catpanion, and will have all their shots, fixing, microchip as part of adoption fee. We have 5 other kittens of a similar age, and some 7-8 month old kittens too who can be solo cats.

Happy “Gotcha” day to this amazing, smart, sweet, magnificent boy!! Our son won the cat lottery 3 years ago when he adopted this guy, and God blessed me with the privilege to care for him over two years ago. I don’t know how I would have made it through some pretty tough days the past couple of years without my constant companion by my side. He Is such a joy! 😻♥️🥹🙏 #grandkitty #williethegrand

During one of my most stressful deadlines, a teammate brought their cat to the office. Instead of tense silence, the room filled with laughter as the cat climbed over keyboards and curled up on a chair. That small moment reminded me how powerful joy can be for motivation. Do you think pets at work are a productivity hack or a distraction?

How are you all maintaining human contact when your only coworker is a cat or a very judgmental-looking houseplants? The silence in this house is getting deafening. I used to complain about the noisy open-office plan and the guy who microwaved fish, but God, I’d give anything for a boring water-cooler chat about the weekend right now.

Does anyone know the deal with Red Bull’s illustrated commercials? I feel like they’re always so odd and almost could be funny or charming but just… aren’t. Is there a client that’s obsessed with this style? Or why they’ve stuck to this same approach for so long? What am I missing
