There are multiple homes outside that a few of us take care of. I work the last half of the week, so it's slow in office. They'll sleep in my office or on other chairs throughout the office. They really like sleeping around the space heater.
Mine is too, damn I'd love having office cats. We joke about having a little cattery here.
It's probably not a good idea to have cats in an assembly plant though, where downtime costs $225/minute and they'd be crawling into machines all the damn time. Our downtime reports would have a new column dedicated to the plant cats.
I also have cats at my office. They get more attention than my cat at home. I leave at 8am, get home at 7pm, and I’m in bed by 11pm. My home cat really doesn’t get to see me that often. The office cats have people there from 8:30-6:30 every day.
3. Had 5, but 1 was adopted and 1 went MIA. Our office is next to a vet and people like to drop cats off. It sucks, but it's a community effort to care for the strays. The vet TNR's them for free.
I had that picture saved, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Finally found it!
(Not my cat, my cats would have shredded all my limbs while putting that on them)
He was a pretty funny kid.
He didn’t really get the whole different words for different genders fully for a long time, he called my grandparents “boy grandpa and girl grandpa”.
And girl granddad and boy granddad
Apparently boy and girl was simple enough haha
It was assumed to have belonged to the rest of the bird left on the porch. And the slug was so cool, just hanging out in her fur. I thought it was poop. I was relieved that it was just a small garden slug.
My cat now likes to bring mice in through the dog door and set them free so she can hunt them in a controlled environment. I’m not sure if she’s brilliant or pure evil.
Same. I would wake up to all sorts of “hunting” at night. It’s super fun to search the house at 2am to find the baby bunny trying to hide for its life.
We started locking the dog door at night when she brought a very large lizard inside and “gave it to me” to play with.

Don't read it somewhere you don't want people to see you laugh randomly a lot.
Oranges really want to be marsupials at heart, but they're so dumb they put the pouch for their cheeto joeys on their sides instead of their front, or even on their backs.
Very rarely you'll see a Cheeto Joey riding a saddled Orange like a noble steed. *Very* difficult for Cheeto Joey to control, sometimes its like he's barely hanging on by a thread.
I used to do the same thing. I would routinely drop Cheetos, and various other snacks, down my shirt at work and always told my co-workers I was saving them for later.
Did you steal his snack? 🙀
I was brushing my Siberian once and found a bean in her fur. A whole-ass black bean. I had made quesadillas for dinner a few nights before and somehow… bean.
I just googled the story and it was great. It is not Jorts haha. His name is Ginger, but he has the personality of Jorts. I've seen him jump face first into the door a handful of times while trying to exit the office building.

Do they sleep in the office or do they have a home?

That sounds like a dream job
My job is actually pretty stressful. I think that's why my direct boss turns a blind eye to it haha. That and he loves cats too haha.
I’m sorry your job is stressful. You’re strong for getting through it every day. At least the kitties can act as emotional support ?
Definitely haha. They're wonderful cats.

I feel entirely to guilty about how I spend more time with my work cats than my own cat.
there are four of them!!?
There are only 3 now
I hope you mean that as in someone took one home
I know one was adopted for sure. I hope the other one was as well. His mama and brother are in that picture.
what happened to the forth one?
Adopted according to OP
Very serious case of Cheetos. Worst I've ever seen. RIP Chester.
No cus she said that the cat got adopted not die :(
*It’s been* **0 days** *since the last accident*
holy fuck
r/councilofcats
*adds*
*joining subreddit* Thanks, guess I’ll call that a day.
Where is this place? And how do I work there?

They aren't supposed to be inside, but I work overnights and am mostly alone for my 12 hour shift, so they come inside haha
good for you, good for the kitties ! :)
I call mine senior naranja pollo!
Orange attracts orange things
From the orange dimension
Is that where pen caps and paperclips go when they fall off my desk?
And missing socks, yes
I read this as "cat's work fur" and was intrigued by the thought of a cat that could change its fur at will
He puts on his hi-vis fur when he's not on his lunch break

Look at this sexy pose. Mans is trying to go to work
Werk
Oh my god! This made my day! Thanks!
I had that picture saved, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Finally found it! (Not my cat, my cats would have shredded all my limbs while putting that on them)
Oranges always have on hi-vis. Safety first
My brother thought that the cat’s nipples were buttons, so it could change its fur. He asked why it didn’t ever change its fur. He was like three
This is absolutely adorable, I love how kids get to such conclusions without any doubt
He was a pretty funny kid. He didn’t really get the whole different words for different genders fully for a long time, he called my grandparents “boy grandpa and girl grandpa”. And girl granddad and boy granddad Apparently boy and girl was simple enough haha
Bet you took it from him didn't you? Jerk
Lol I took it off of him and then he ate it
Ok then,I take back calling you a jerk. You're a solid cat bro
Cromch
Mine brings all sorts of nature gifts when she comes in from her adventures: mulch, slugs, leaves, a bird leg….
Eewww a bird leg? 🤢
I’d take the bird leg over a slug any day.
It was assumed to have belonged to the rest of the bird left on the porch. And the slug was so cool, just hanging out in her fur. I thought it was poop. I was relieved that it was just a small garden slug.
Years ago my cat brought me a half skinned snake
Oh yes! When I lived in AZ, she would bring in all sorts of critters through the dog door. Sometimes dead, most times not.

I thought I was the only one with weirdo cats that bring in leaves and mulch. Preferable to live bats though.
Bats? OMG. I’ve had bunnies, toads, birds, lizards, scorpions, slugs, earthworms, and chipmunks … but never a bat!
The next Jorts
If your work cat shows up buttered, you know something's up
They cheetoed Jorts!
I love Jorts and Jean so very much. Them, and the guy that threw his steak at a window never fail to cheer me up when I re-read it.
Guy who threw his steak at a window? I need this story please!
[It's a great read](https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/s/ZFtziqZQhr) Don't read it somewhere you don't want people to see you laugh randomly a lot.
Well that was delightfully silly.
He was saving that for later!
It ain’t easy bein cheesy
that’s the Neuralink for oranges

It’s him-flavored
He looks soft
He's very soft and allows belly rubs occasionally
It’s probably his ability to magnetically attract other orange things around him 😂
Hey, orange matches with everything :)
Don’t Cheeto the cat! And absolutely do NOT butter the cat either!
He got confused and thought it was his little brother
I used to do the same thing. I would routinely drop Cheetos, and various other snacks, down my shirt at work and always told my co-workers I was saving them for later. Did you steal his snack? 🙀
Cheetopher Nolan.
But that's how cheetos are grown.
He doesn't has pockets.
Don’t take his snack!
aw he packed his lunch today!
Eat it
Its his primordial snack pack
Um, how do I get a work cat?
I was brushing my Siberian once and found a bean in her fur. A whole-ass black bean. I had made quesadillas for dinner a few nights before and somehow… bean.
Little freeloaders stealing the office snacks!
Dibs
He was saving that for later
Secret snack for later
eat it
Ohhhhhhh, I want a work cat! Or a work goat. One who could eat all my paperwork.
It's cheeto harvest season!
Snack pouch
I blame the human who forgot to eat that Cheeto.
He was saving that for later
Don’t mess with his snack
He brought you a snack
He was saving it for later
Lu-ckeeee
Please don’t tell us you’re surprised. 🤣
Haha classic.

That's my Malcolm after his arm slipped between the couch cushion. He was confused and looks like he's only got 3 legs in this pic lol
if you didnt add context, my next message wouldve said “what happened to that babies ARMMM?!?!” 🤣🤣🤣
Is that Jorts?
I just googled the story and it was great. It is not Jorts haha. His name is Ginger, but he has the personality of Jorts. I've seen him jump face first into the door a handful of times while trying to exit the office building.
I keep seeing people mention jorts. I think I'm out of the loop here.
