I missed you, business cat.

[–]FruggingAndSugging 29 points30 points ago

It seems that there are a finite number of business things to relate to cat things.

[–]BetterDaysAhead 7 points8 points ago

yup. I haven't seen a non repost business cat meme in a long time until this one. Makes me sad that there's only so much you can do.

[–]abbott_costello 233 points234 points ago

Let's all just agree that Business Cat is by far the best meme.

[–]unfortunatejordan 54 points55 points ago

I always like to link to this comment from awhile back.

... there are so many similar traits in the boss stereotype (think Lumbergh) and your annoying cat at home. Both are very demanding, finicky, don't react well to change, think you're their property and have short energetic bursts of insanity followed by extreme lethargy...

I like how all 3 of your posts eventually end up insisting redditors to send in pics of their fine asian selves in the company of some fine caucasian ladies to some email address. (You too down there, zurlon, i see your sneaky gif)

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points ago

All I can picture is that Business Cat is the inventor and grand master of Reddit

[–]eat-your-corn-syrup 4 points5 points ago

that must be why the business cat is in the king position at this subreddit's background image

[–]BlueRazors 4 points5 points ago

It's a combination of the two things reddit loves, and dreads, in the same meme.

[–]emniem 2 points3 points ago

It's like if Dilbert's pointy-haired boss was a cat, and all the comedic situations that would ensue.

[–]Catnip anyone?mage_g4 2 points3 points ago

YES.

[–]illmastabumptwo 2 points3 points ago

Because it is. Because it is a vigilant cat wearing a tie. Because it is.

[–]RelevantDubstep 0 points1 point ago

[–]cbfw86 -3 points-2 points ago

I dunno, man. I still think SAP tops it. However reddit has driven that thing into the ground over the last few months.

Edit: typo fix

[–]BigBassBone 1 point2 points ago

SP?

[–]cbfw86 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, SAP. Typo.

[–]epiphone7 -2 points-1 points ago

Oh man, I've missed Business Cat.

[–]dontpetthepooch 10 points11 points ago

It becomes clearer each day that this site is in fact ran by cats, for cats.

[–]boozles 0 points1 point ago

You should probably check ou. /r/catreddit

[–]dontpetthepooch 1 point2 points ago

I had to double check that wasn't a link to /r/all

[–]Jesus_Faction 7 points8 points ago

Please be on time.

[–]timmsthethird 18 points19 points ago

Cat disappeared for three days. I went looking for her one afternoon and eventually heard her mewing from the tree tops high above. After a drunken climb to the top I promptly realize that not only have I been rather ambitious in my hasty ascent to save my feline but I now have to return back down one handed with a shitty kitty to boot. I called the non-emergency line yet they still sent 10 personnel between two trucks and an ambulance to save us from the canopy.

I guess you could say the way I negotiated that situation a real catastrophe.

[–]Press1ForZombies 0 points1 point ago

Wow. I had to scroll down to read your comment, more precisely the first line of it, to actually get the joke in the meme. Ouch.

Hmm. Maybe sending out all those people with all that gear is standard procedure in cat-related emergencies. They know... They know.

[–]emniem -1 points0 points ago

I'd say, a CAT-astrophe! Cats, drunkenness, and emergency personnel always make for a whale of a time!

[–]BJabs 5 points6 points ago

Haha. I enjoyed this almost as much as I enjoyed the funniest business cat thing ever.

[–]zastels 2 points3 points ago

I always thought cats pretended to be stuck, because once you ignore them they come back down.

[–]emniem 1 point2 points ago

How many cat skeletons have ever been found in trees?

[–]Lillipout 0 points1 point ago

We don’t see cat skeletons in trees because of a well-known law of nature called gravity: The cat becomes too weak to hold on, lets go, and falls.

[–]boozles 0 points1 point ago

How many cat skeletons have ever been found under trees?

[–]Lillipout 0 points1 point ago

Only large animals are found where they die. Smaller animals are eaten and their corpses dispersed by scavengers.

[–]emniem 0 points1 point ago

Well, they are sturdy little beasts, even in a weakened state they would probably survive the fall I'm guessing.

[–]ilovecatmen 2 points3 points ago

I love this!

[–]tearsofmccown 1 point2 points ago

Finally he is back

[–]rachelscott616 1 point2 points ago

Cat is awesome!

[–]PulpFact 1 point2 points ago

Pestering the executives? Watch yourself, business cat, or you'll be dealing with the fired department.

[–]yourafagyourafag 1 point2 points ago

Business Cat is back!

[–]McJagger88 1 point2 points ago

Profits are on the climb, and so is Business Cat

[–]kyle22 1 point2 points ago

This cat, more than any other cat on the entire reddit, has made me feel know that the world is a beautiful, kind, and exciting place. It's also a pretty great meme imo.

[–]maamby 1 point2 points ago

We could all learn a thing or two from Business Cat about climbing the corporate ladder.

[–]minghj 1 point2 points ago

Business cat climbes the corporate ladder, can't get down

[–]Bondman95 1 point2 points ago

This is just purrrrfect....

[–]secretbuzz 1 point2 points ago

I FUCKING LOVE CATS!

[–]a_doh_ban 1 point2 points ago

[–]Captain_Airstrip_One 1 point2 points ago

Business Cat! You'll never get that promotion, the way you carry on.

[–]Borbygoymos 1 point2 points ago

I love you so much business cat.

[–]db0255 1 point2 points ago

I don't know why but this MEME cracks me up everytime. Just subtle enough. Dry/wry sense of humor. And cats.

[–]ch4rbok 2 points3 points ago

It has been too long since we've had a decent AdviceAnimal on the front page. I admit, Almost Politically Correct Redneck is remarkably well done, but some good old' fashion Business Cat is just what this place needed.

This happened to my roommate's cat two days ago, and she actually resembles business cat quite a bit.

This is by far my favorite meme.

[–]jmeowww 2 points3 points ago

Me too. I upvoted before I read the caption solely because I saw it was Business Cat. I'm glad he's back on the prowl.

[–]jesselikesfood -1 points0 points ago

I love it too.. it's just that the joke is a stretch

[–]smdnow -3 points-2 points ago

My cat looks exactly the same. Only he likes to climb up walls and get stuck. I had to build the bastard a ramp system so he could get down... he's adorable as fuck though so i dont really mind lol

[–]emniem 0 points1 point ago

He has a collar and tie like that?

[–]DevinJustice -4 points-3 points ago

I was under the impression that National Cat Day was sometime later in the year...this is more than the 15th cat-related post that's made it to the top 50 today. You do realize they're just selfish animals? And that we have become desensitized to the negative outcomes of human society? People seem to care too much about animals (that have no conscience, mind you). I get it...you grew up strangely. People picked on you, you had a psychological complex, you're not smart, you loved someone you couldn't have, you reached for empathy and were denied. Whatever it was, you became awkward and outreached to whoever could take you. But humans let you down, so you turned to animals. It's a fucking animal. We're carnivores. Who gives a flying shit? If evolution had its way, you would be the beastmaster and would be kicking ass. But in this day and age, animals were never meant to be domesticated. You're most likely doing their species harm for your own selfish reasons. You want to be loved.

[–]mahtoobah 2 points3 points ago

Wow, where to start with that word-vomit you called a paragraph.

Humans are omnivores, not carnivores.

Someone who can't feel empathy toward animals is a person who lacks a conscience. And someone who thinks that animals don't experience emotions is someone who never had a pet. I'm sorry your parents wouldn't let you have a pet when you were a child, Timmy, but it's time to let go of your anger.

As for "animals were never meant to be domesticated"...meant by whom? Were you "meant" to drive cars, worry about money, and post long rambling self-hating screeds on the internet?

[–]MuffinsRUs 1 point2 points ago

Wow... That's one long, angry post for someone trying to call others out for being awkward and desperate.
