Katzenpiraten

Ok, this story is fairly close to one told here a bit ago. Except this time, it involved 3 different cats.

I work for a small company in the boondocks of nowheresville (nice place, good coworkers), and we're all fairly merry individuals (there are about 5-6 of us). I could go into great detail about the New Year's Farts incidents, or the Halloween Corpse Competiton, but I digress.

One of my coworker's cats recently had kittens. And he had to get rid of a few of them. Now, he had no idea what to do, so he came up with, as Baldrick would put it, "a cunning plan".

For three days, he kept sneaking kittens into the workplace, we would be typing at our computers or chatting at the water cooler, and then this little furball would prowl up and start untying shoelaces, or sniffing you all over.

One even slipped into the boss's office, and when we went in to check on the boss, we peeked through the door, and found him dangling a string over this puny little orb of fluff.

Eventually, a few got taken home as pets, but the majority (4 of them, actually) were allowed to stay as office cats. Every cubicle has food dishes and water bowls, and we often open up filing cabinets to see a little furry head poking out at us.

Real heartwarming, ain't it?

Are they stored in the file cabinets over the weekends?!

I love this! Personally, being a cat person I would never get any work done. Tell us more about your workplace--and do you have any positions that need filling?

Kittens are cute, you've just got to be on heartless SOB if a kitten can't make you smile!

Nah, they aren't stuffed in the filing cabinets, often we either leave them (the cabinets) open, or someone drops one in there as a cute furry surprise. And we have a rotation as to who takes them home overnight after lockup.

Damn, I hate to double-comment XD

It's a good workplace, not like my old one (I'll put up one of my better tales regarding "Rumor Man" later), small time operation, we're a tiny town newspaper.

And now I'm triple commenting because I keep forgetting things XD XD XD

And sorry, no job openings right now. I'll put one up here if there is tho'.
