It's time for the (kind of) annual 'workplace says everyone (really everyone this time) (unless you have a good excuse) has to show up and socialize for a day' experience. Since the New Building is new, the meeting is there, which is at least convenient.

There's only sort of space for everyone inside, so they've compensated by also setting up some big event-type tents outside (mostly for eating, probably so people don't try to eat in the brand new Big Meeting Hall space).

But instead of using any of the actual lawn area for the tents (it's weird to have office lawn space, I know, but this building does, for some reason?), they've set up the tents IN THE PARKING LOT. WHERE THE CARS GO.

Sooooooooo now there's not enough parking? Like, there wouldn't have been enough parking anyway, with everyone showing up, but now there's REALLY not enough parking. WHY???????

[Plus side: today's schedule includes a lot of free food.]

Is it rainy where you pet parents are? It is where I am, and I'm in dire need of some feline funnies to brighten up my mood and stave off the damp weather—I know you are, too!

The cold weather is coming quicker than we expected, but it's essential to remember that with the changing of the seasons come different experiences. For instance, our cats are growing a thicker coat of fur, and we may consider putting sweaters on them for our Christmas cards… Maybe even Halloween costumes. Who knows? See, we have to look on the bright side. If we don't, we'll all be hissterical until the time comes for the sun to set after 8 PM again.

Feline funnies will get you feeling fuzzy in no time, especially ones that feel like a warm hug or that one spot of sunlight your cat finds come midday. We can never be cats, but we can sure admire them (and try to find our own little spots of sun on the floor).

For now, all we can supply you cat parents with is a selection of curated cat memes, ready to make you smile for the rest of the day!

Cats, we know em, we love em and one of the things that we love so much about them is their interest and intrigue in hooman things and their hilarious attempts to use them. And while their apprehension of how to open door handles is not necessarily the thing we enjoy the most, after all, doors have been put in place for privacy, the point still stands.

But one thing that many cats seriously struggle with is the ability to drink water from a tap. They love it, they are obsessed with it, but when it comes to figuring out how to make it happen in any sort of normal way, our cute cattos are completely incompetent. Which makes for quite the pleasurable viewing when you are feeling a little incompetent yourself. So kick back and enjoy this collection of hilarious cattos that will make you feel cognitively superior.

Life is a tough thing. Whether it is the fragility inherent in it that can break at any moment, or it is simply the courage and strength it takes to walk against the rising tide. But the bonds that we make, especially with our cat children are the things that help us keep going and to see us through to the end of our lives.

And today we have a life story of sorts to share with you that centers around a young woman and her cat. Detailing their journey from the day that they met, all the way until the sad sad day that they said their goodbyes, this is a story that displays just how strong, how healing, and how important the love that is shared in a cat-hooman relationship is. This is the story of cat commitment, this is the story that all cat lovers will remember and hold on to in the toughest of times.

When you adopt a cat, whether at the shelter or from the streets, you think you know what you are getting. What you see is what you get, right? Well, not always, not with cats. Sometimes, you adopt a completely normal kitten only for the kitten to stop growing, stay tiny forever. Sometimes, the opposite happens, and the tiny kitten you adopted doesn't stop growing, and suddenly, you realize that for the next 10-25 years, you have signed up to having a little lion in your house. 

And sometimes, you adopt the most predictable cat - a silly orange cat, yes, but a regular orange with regular orange proclivities. And then, out of nowhere, right before your eyes, your orange - the one that you trusted to be completely normal - suddenly starts changing colors. And you have to ask yourself what does it mean? What did you actually bring to your home? And will this orange still act like an orange?

When a pet goes missing, most owners would do pretty much anything to get their beloved furriend back. We have yet to meet a pet owner who would not sell their own soul to be reunited with their most prized "possession". Love has no price tag.

So it shouldn't come as a surprise when one sees a "missing pet" poster that a reward is offered to whoever finds the pet. If a reward can help speed the recovery process and find the pet faster, that is a small price to pay. And if someone was kind enough to take care of the pet after finding it and while waiting to return it, then they can have all the money in the world, if you ask us.

That is what we would have told the sweet hooman in the story below, after they felt guilty for accepting an $800 reward for finding a neighbor's cat. They did a good deed, and we understand it can be weird to accept a prize for that, but they definitely deserve it.

Keep scrolling to read the full story.

Judging from interviews, every famous person seems to have been told by a careers teacher at some point that they would "Never amount to anything", "Just didn't have what it takes to make it as a professional" etc., but then went on to prove them gloriously wrong.

This never happened to me - in fact, I don't think I ever spoke to a careers teacher at all. Perhaps we didn't have one at my school? The traditional options were get married or work in the brewery/on the farm, so it would have been a rather dispiriting assignment, I imagine.

But are careers teachers universally this negative in their attitudes? Doesn't it seem like it would be the first thing you learn at careers-teacher school, "Don't tell children that they'll never amount to anything"? Is it some kind of reverse-psychology motivational tool, sparingly but deliberately deployed? Or are the celebs bending the truth a smidge? I don't know, but I'd be interested to hear whether anyone here has been subjected to this kind of treatment.

Four years ago on this day, I created and opened this comm for business.

I've said it before in past anniversary posts, and it's still true: This comm provided some much needed distraction and fun, and I'm very grateful to all of you who made it so. Comments, discussions, fanworks, resources - thank you for participating and keeping this community active.

I've found new friends here, and lots of interesting things to watch and read and listen to, and I'm hoping this will continue for another year (or longer)!
