Office Cats - Brightening Your Work Day

This week, an awesome story was released about a cat who saved her 4-year old human from a neighbor's dog. The dog appeared out of nowhere, attacking the little boy without warning and trying to drag him off. Tara the cat zoomed on the scene, chasing the dog off without 'batting' a tail. The little boy escaped with some bites to the leg, but was otherwise fine.

These heroics made me think about how, contrary to popular belief, cats can be just as loyal and protective of their peeps as dogs. Granted it does not happen as often, but when it does, it reminds us that there is a little bit of dog in every cat (and maybe a little bit of cat in every dog).

Although I do not have any pets at home, Fun City has a sweet and fun loving feline name Baby. She helps brighten most of our days, whether she is stealing water out of our cups or jumping up on the desks for some attention. If nothing else, this story of a protective cat makes me even more appreciative of having Baby around.

So, to all of you who have pets (or office animals) in your lives, give them a hug this week!
