  • What is the Color of Your Litterbox ? Are you a Creator?

    If you have been faithfully following the blog you may have determined you are not a DOER or a THINKER. This may have left you despondent and unable to enjoy the sun’s last rays on your furry body as you lie under your favorite window sadly musing, “perhaps there is no hope for me to be fulfilled in my cat-reer.” But do not give up hope, as you may very well be a CREATOR.

    Incidentally, for those who have not been faithfully following the blog, we hiss and spit on you. Furthermore, we refuse to use the litterbox you have graciously provided and choose to go instead to the planter where you have planted a low maintenance Dracaena and teach you a thing or two about low maintenance.

    Being a creator is wonderful. For one, isn’t God a creator too? If so, he certainly is in good company. For two, most cats have have artistry running through their veins.

    Are you a Creator?

    True or False:

    You are inspired by:

    • Afternoon naps in a warm sunbeam
    • Raking the litter in your cat box into elaborate patterns
    • Making imprints with your paws on windows and mirrors
    • Your Yoga and meditation practices

    If you true to one or more, you are a Creator.

  • What is the Color of Your Litterbox? Cat Corporate Lawyer

    Although being a corporate lawyer may sound less exciting than let’s say a NASA Scientist or Professional Thief, a Corporate Lawyer is a highly respectable profession, and purrr…fect for the kitty who values stability, enjoys working at a desk and doesn’t mind staying up all night to get the job done.

    Most kitties have everything they need to be a Corporate Lawyer: A keen sense of opportunity, the ability to surprise the opposition and a respectable suit. The only thing we recommend to round out your obvious assets is the purchase of a cell phone with good coverage so you can easily handle any international deals when you are away from your office, for example, lying on the couch or in the sun. Luckily for you, because your hearing is quite acute you will not need an ear piece unless of course you are driving depending on your local state laws.

    Consider this career if you;

    • Work well without supervision and have no existing criminal records
    • Drive your point home loudly and often
    • Are able to orchestrate successful, leveraged buyouts

  • What is the Color of Your Litterbox? Cat Burglar

    Although there are many perils in breaking the law, especially with legislation like Three Strikes in California, there really is no reason an enterprising kitty should not consider a successful career in crime. After all, how do you think Cat Burglar was coined?

    Depending on your neighborhood, the amazing rewards of this job can keep you purring for days. And you’ll find the selection of items you can paw is quite broad. You need not limit yourself to precious stones and metals – after all what’s wrong with a lovely fish skeleton or an exciting leathery, petrified bat that someone found in their basement and tried unsuccessfully to give to the garbage collector for several weeks? You’ll find all these items have surprisingly good street value with your friendly neighborhood fencer.

    Another plus is that you’ll find your slinky ways and ability to see in the dark an incredible asset that sets you head, shoulders and tails above other petty criminals of lesser animals.

    Consider this career if you;

    • Demonstrate extreme patience
    • Tremble from excitement and make an “eh eh eh” sound when you see something you want
    • Can spot a D flawless from across the room

  • What Color is Your Litterbox? NASA Scientist

    The myth of cats only excelling in liberal arts is that – a myth only. Many cats have found great success in the world of science and you can too. And if you’re going to reach for the stars, to explore the space and time continuum, to pioneer the future in aeronautics research or to contact the Mother Ship, we believe you need to reach no higher than to be a NASA scientist.

    Consider this career if you:

    • Can concentrate on one thing for hours and hours and hours and hours and hours.
    • Approach situations from a detached, analytical point-of-view
    • Recite all of Newton’s laws of motion

    If you have been faithfully following the blog last week, you may have determined you are not a DOER. But please do not lose hope because you may very well be a THINKER.

    Thinkers are cats that are excellent planners. They plot, plan AND plan ahead.

    Take this quiz if you think you might be a Thinker:

    You tend to get on the forbidden kitchen counter top:
    a. When no one is home, but leave evidence that someone else, not you was there
    b. To bite the pie that was left out and loosely wrapped even though you don’t like pie.
    c. When you want to look out the window
    d. To play with the dripping faucet

    If you answered “a”, you are a thinker.

  • What is the Color of Your Litterbox? Jobs for Doers : Entre-purrr-neur

    Let’s face it, every kitty has a bit of the entre-purrr-neur in them. You’re independent, you have ideas, lots of good ones and most kitties like working for yourself. However, this seemingly purrr…fect description, in reality, might not work for every kitty. Keep in mind you must embrace risk, endure many, many hours of work without pay or pets and you must also truly believe in a capitalistic society. If any of these aspects just aren’t you, than you may want to consider something different to sink your claws into.

    Consider this career if you;

    • Possess vision, determination and motivation
    • Adapt quickly to evolving situations
    • Grasp the big picture such as global markets and technology

    Don’t forget to check in next week to see for Part 5, to see if You Are a Thinker!

    This is an often overlooked career consideration for kitties which is unfortunate because is can be very rewarding especially if you like heights. Plus, because so few kitties are Sky Diving Instructors, you’ll find your resume submission welcomed with open arms…and laps. Consider this career if you;

    • Enjoy the wind in your fur
    • Embrace the thrill of an adrenaline rush
    • Feel a strong desire to push others out of their comfort thresholds

    If you are a DOER, then a Plumber is a respectable job that you may consider.

    Do you:
    • Love working in and around water
    • Enjoy fiddling with hardware like toilets and sink drains
    • Engage regularly in systematic problem solving

    If your answer is yes to all above, this may be the purrr…fect job for you. The great thing about being a plumber is that every human needs one at some point or another – especially if they’re flushing used litter down the toilet. And let’s not forget the added benefit that you’ll never be thirsty on the job.
