Who needs a motivational speaker when you've got cats clocking in, looking busy, and still finding time to take a nap?

A little birdie told me that someone needed a bit of motivation to start today's workday… I'm here to deliver exactly that!

I'll be honest, there was no birdie. It was me who was in need of a dose of motivation to start my shift. I tried multiple different things, and nothing really worked. However, for some casualty of life, I came across a subreddit with a bunch of working cats! Yes, like you're reading: cats who had jobs and were happy to be there helping. And that was all I needed, because if cats, perhaps one of the species that most love to nap can work, they definitely so can I. And let me tell you, it wasn't just the cutest thing ever: it was also super funny to watch!

You'll see in the collection that I manually gathered for you that there's a little kitty that was rescued from a construction zone. That little orange fella was adopted by the workers in that area and now helps in the main warehouse, where the boys go to download materials and to take a few breaks from time to time. The story is so emotional and so cute that I couldn't help myself and had to add that little kitty to this gallery. But that's not the only one: we have baristas, laborers, librarians… different cats attending their different jobs.

And, I'm truly convinced we can all learn something from this, too. Besides receiving our daily dose of meowtivation, observing the way these little kitties seem to be appreciating their work is empowering in some way, and makes me wanna laugh out my stress and my tiredness. Because this is why I gathered these working cats: of course they're not going to be doing your work, but they are here to prove that you can get through this, one more day. If you have cats at home, then they're probably cheering for you, but if you don't, use these little kitties as your own personal motivators and cheerleaders. You got this!
