Take your Cat to Work Day

Isn’t this an inspired idea? It’s something Belvedere and I can really get behind.
It’s only been a thing since 2021, when it was set up by enterprising brand ambassadors for Petplan Insurance. It always falls in the third week in June, and this year it was 19 June. Currently it is only celebrated in the USA, but Belvedere and I will be spreading the word to help make it a global event.
So why should you take your cat to work?
If you WFH, your cat is always at work with you, and you know how beneficial that is. Cats can only be enhance any corporate workspace.
- They are intuitive natural disrupters, which is the current must-have skill
- They will declutter desk space by pushing off anything extraneous, or indeed anything, on it
- They stop employees spending office time scrolling for cat posts by being an IRL cat in real time.
- They are excellent at diversionary tactics on zoom or teams meetings
- They are masters of the power nap and will lead by example
- They possess the power stare. If you are negotiating something tricky, a cat beside you saying nothing but staring with focus is a very powerful weapon.
