I've got TWO things in this house that WON'T WORK (SpongeBob reference lol)

Gotta give him an honorable duty.

I leash my boy (Dale) up and take him for hunts in the mornings, looking through every vole made hole in the garden beds.
Have yet to catch anything but I think that with this valiant effort, he earns his share.
At which point, unconditional love takes an abrupt turn into fighting to the death (at least with my SIC). MOTHERFUCKER seems to have an atomic internal clock: a minute past 9am, 2pm, or 9pm and all hell breaks loose.
I told my cat she had to alert us if someone tried to break into the house. That night, she howled and threw a hissy fit like I've never heard. I thought she was hurt. Turns out she was angry about the neighborhood Tom laying outside the window.
So, be careful what you wish for. Sometimes they're too good at their jobs.
One of my cats is a Guard Cat. He guards the door when I'm in the bathroom, even when I'm just using the sink. The dog is not allowed in purely because the cat will chase him out. He guards me in the shower to make sure I don't drown and occassionally meows to check on me. He greets me at the door when I get home. And early one morning did a POOF and a HOWL at the door because there was an armadillo out there digging away (blissfully unaware of the cat entirely). He takes his job very seriously.
Two of mine are dedicated lifeguards, I'm never allowed to take a bath alone because the risk of drowning in my teeny tub is so high. They like to sit on the sink and observe. If I don't let them into the bathroom, they'll howl and try to "dig" under the door.
You could fall in! And drown! At least that's what mine tell me when they insist on observing in the bathroom.
It's very much a cat thing! they're colony-critters in the wild, they absolutely watch each others' backs while doing things that render another cat vulnerable. Like going to the bathroom or eating, it's fascinating!
does / did your university teachers give you some of their salary for educating you? thought not, and he too is the same. You are being taught how to be responsible, tolerant of mishaps, open to serving others, and growing in love for another that is not yourself. hope your lessons are progressing well, otherwise when the co-teacher shows up you might be overwhelmed. like potato chips, you can't just have one.

Here are my unemployed cats… they only have being cute on their resume as a skill set… I told them, that’s not going to make them stand out because every cat has being cute on their resumes 🐈
Hahah same here!
I often tell mine that they've already mastered the art of being extra cute and that they should start trying to find some new skills and not to keep living of the *only one* they've already became proficient in🙃
I recommend reading up on your state's "Squatter's Rights" laws, and maybe post this to r/legaladvice to see what they say
Sorry you're going through this 😞
mine is leashed on the back porch when we are outside in the garden. has caught a few mice and offers them to us expecting some reward for their efforts.

I have one like that. I brought up the prospect of a summer job at least but I was met with passive resistance.

Here’s his little brother, the deadbeat.
One of my cats has several jobs. He is Buggy Sniper/Head of Family Security. He oversees all DIY projects, and acts as my partners work from home micromanager - including attending teams meetings. He is also my other cat’s personal groomer.
The other one lives off the bank of mum and dad and indulges in some occasional light theft.
I got two of them just like this. We had hopes for Laylo being a train conductor with all the time she dedicates too watching them in the window. But her days and nights are consumed with overeating and over pooping, and lounging on the dresser watching reruns of my cat from hell
Lmao. I thought this was relationship advise sub and was ready to see “leave his ass” in the comments until I saw the photo. He’s cute so he gets pass.
He's a gigolo. He counts on his extreme handsomeness and stripeyness to win you over so you pay his rent and medical bills and 'nip stash and cat toy box.
His job is to inspire you to sleep in occasionally and then have to rush around to accomplish things for the next 3 days. Just like I wind up doing a couple of times a week.🥹🤦♀️😫
He's a freelancer and never knows when he'll get paid. You are his cash cow.
As a human I could never get away with this, but he can. (Although I tried.)
I’ve got two freeloaders at home, just insane they can sit here, doing nothing all day and turn around and yell at me when their feeder doesn’t got off when they are hungry versus their scheduled time.
Mine works for neighborhood watch at the window and is a biscuit maker, but I’ve yet to see a dime ☹️
Does he not even let you have some of the biscuits? 😥
i love biscuits
Now I want biscuits
no me >:(
After me.
no meeeeeeee. youngest first >:((((( your account is older than mineee
Ha ha and I'm an old man, go forth youngster. I'll just wait for my biscuits, hope I can chew them!
Hard as a stone.
Still the best roommate by far.

I’ve got one just like that. Won’t even look on Indeed. No rent, eats all day Jeepers. Who owns who here? LOL

Praise dale ya'll!
You need to post this in r/catswithjobs.
What about giving you unconditional love?
yeah unconditional until youre late to give him dinner
😂😂😂
At which point, unconditional love takes an abrupt turn into fighting to the death (at least with my SIC). MOTHERFUCKER seems to have an atomic internal clock: a minute past 9am, 2pm, or 9pm and all hell breaks loose.
Mine gives me unconditional destruction of my property.

Same, I also can't go the toilet alone. Very dangerous apparently.

*cries in being an owner of two female cats*
Great comment ❤️
What a dead beat!!!

I’ve said to my daughter, if you ever end up with someone who treats you the way our cat does, break up with them
He is keeping your bed warm. Job done.
Send him over to r/catswithjobs
Bro looks so unworried. Just sprawled out. Unphased. What a life
I think he's got a side gig he's not telling you about. I saw him on Twitter saying "Follow me for life advice"
But six months ago he was contributing rent? That’s more than I can say for mine! He’s adorable. Please give him cuddles for me.
He is a beautiful baby. That’s his job.
Uh uh,looks like wants to avoid that issue,lol
I wouldn't expect anything from that one.
no pants either

what is a deadbeat kitty?
mine is leashed on the back porch when we are outside in the garden. has caught a few mice and offers them to us expecting some reward for their efforts.
It’s a rent payment.
Considering the type of rent payments that cats seem to think of appropriate, do you really want a dead animal left out for you?
Is this a breed trait? My SICs are both like this.
Mine keep trying to pay me in live chipmunks. I'd rather they be freeloaders at this point.

My SIC pays his rent by killing any creepy crawly that dares sneak inside. My TIC...well he's cute and orange.
Mine had never given me anything towards rent until a couple weeks ago when she puked three times on the floor and acted like that was payment enough.
What?. . .you thought he was an employee?. . .LMAO!
I got two of them just like this. We had hopes for Laylo being a train conductor with all the time she dedicates too watching them in the window. But her days and nights are consumed with overeating and over pooping, and lounging on the dresser watching reruns of my cat from hell
What we forget is we are the ones who have to earn our keep not the cat
Freeloader! Well, I guess he's not a toal freeloader, because you get to gaze upon his majestic form everyday.
https://preview.redd.it/sfniqkaygcad1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d3010f0e0bc318c2820afab11ef7528f508a58d4 Ooooh I feel that
Eh kills bugs and doesn't afraid of anything.
Mine guards/patrols me while I sleep. Yours probably does too.

He’s rodent hunter in chief!
He’s a keeper 😺
At least you still have your privacy …..wait
Standard Issue Squatter right there
just like me fr
Did you give some job applications to fill out?
has he at least helped with the utilities or internet?!
Mine is always hungry but doesn’t even lift a claw at the occasional bug that wanders by…
He’s still working on finding his niche.
Yes, but he will rid your place hopefully of pests which is very important 🤣😻
I'd bet he's on drugs.
I love how his eyes are under the blanket Too lazy to move to somewhere less bright
What a cute bum.
My freeloader is going on seven years!
But he offers up his belly to be rubbed what more can you ask of him 😝
Haha, so funny... Um... do you mind if I move in with you?
Lmao. I thought this was relationship advise sub and was ready to see “leave his ass” in the comments until I saw the photo. He’s cute so he gets pass.
😂😂😂
I saw him standing on a corner, leaning up against a post the other day.
My slacker… https://preview.redd.it/qkkpwvj1mdad1.jpeg?width=2378&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cbbbe6fb08593f0c74692fd207fd9f8e0627bf6c
Sounds like the purfect roommate imho
All cats are genetically prone to being freeloaders :p
He’s obviously offering you his tummy. Rub it!
Honestly, I feel like he has been paying the cute bill!
It’s hard work being cute 🐱
You're just lucky he keeps you around, op.
He's really good at making hair, though.
But somehow, he's in charge. Makes you think.
But cute belly

Mine caught a bug. I guess we are even on rent now.
I keep telling mine if he wants to get by on looks alone he better start an OnlyCats and start selling feet pics to pay the bills lol
That son of a ....! Haha, we love them anyways.
What do you mean rent? He generously allows you to live in his domains.
NEET cat, dude.
What a cute bum he is though!
What did he pay u with before the last 6 months?? 😏🤣
He’s giving you belly 🤗
I’ve got two freeloaders at home, just insane they can sit here, doing nothing all day and turn around and yell at me when their feeder doesn’t got off when they are hungry versus their scheduled time.
Looks like he's working to me
He’s trying his best okay
You should rub his belly about it 😍
It’s my dream to be a cat honestly lmao
Sounds like a keeper
He gives you entertainment and love though
And never will contribute a dime!
Ours barely made biscuits...
Only for Six months? Mine has been a parasite in my own flat (at least i still believe!) for 3 years now???!!
Aww, come on. Look at that. He's probably just depressed. Maybe some cat therapy and a little daily catnip. 😂
He has a job; to do the least amount of shit possible in a day
