The Cat Who Only Sits on Important Documents

Every cat owner knows the rule: the more important the paper, the more likely it is to be sat on. One reader’s cat has elevated this into an art form.

A Brief Feline Analysis

Our cat correspondent has reviewed the footage and filed the following observations, most of them accusatory.

• The cat was aware of the camera
• The cat did not care about the camera
• The glass was on the edge of the table for a reason

Laughter is the shortest distance between two people.

As always, the cat has declined to comment and has knocked our microphone off the desk.

A quick note on how this post came together: the idea arrived in our tips inbox, survived two editorial meetings, one argument about whether it was actually funny, and a vote that was decided by the office cat walking across the keyboard. We cleaned it up, checked every detail, and added only the jokes we could defend in front of our mothers.
