    What is the Color of Your Litterbox? Cat Realtor

    When you dream of the utopian world, do you dream that there is chicken and tuna in every pot and there is a warm bed and lap for every kitty? Does this imagery give you that warm and fuzzy feeling inside and make your tummy look and feel even more fuzzy?? If so, a REALTOR is the career for you.

    Although the real estate market is currently slow, hard working kitties can still find great success in this field – you just need to be creative. When showing a house, you need not only point out the number of bedrooms or bathrooms. How about that window that has a great view where you can see other neighborhood cats and freak out? The number of closets you can hide in when guests come over where no one can find you for hours and think you’ve somehow got out and run away? A counter top that doesn’t show tell-tale paw prints for those midnight raids? So many appealing features that might otherwise go unnoticed!

    Consider this career if you;

    • Embrace a frantic pace in your life
    • Feel at home putting on a show in any home
    • Enjoy building long-term, win-win relationships

    What is the Color of Your Litterbox? Cat Chef

    If you like to eat, able to distinguish between a no-name cat food and your favorite exponentially more expensive brand and you’re willing to taste new things, like the take out Chicken Tikka Masala that someone left on the counter then a CHEF might be the career for you.

    Despite the fact that cats are well known for their discriminating palettes, there are relatively few cat chefs in currently in the marketplace. If you don’t believe me, when is the last time you saw a cat on Hell’s Kitchen? And why not? You’re quick, nimble and you could easily give Chef Ramsay a few new ways on how to express yourself when you don’t get what you want.

    As you are deciding where your passions lie, we suggest exploring new cuisines or taking a cooking class or two. What’s nice to know that wherever this career path leads you: short order cook, restaurateur about town or cat-erer, there is nothing more satisfying than to serve or be served a good meal.

    Consider this career if you:

    • Enjoy eating and drinking to an excess
    • Look great in an apron
    • Can julienne better than Julia Child

    Not a CREATOR? Maybe you are a HELPER!

    What is the Color of Your Litterbox? Cat Opera Singer

    Listen, if you’ve got a voice there is no reason why you shouldn’t use it or let it be wasted in an alley when you could be trying out for America’s Got Talent. You might think – I can’t! I am no longer a kitten and my tail is grey, bushy and unmanageable! Well, think about the great loss we would would all have if Susan Boyle gave up because she’s got grey, bushy and unmanageable eyebrows! Your voice is a gift and you should share your gift.

    Now before you think just because you have talent, you can be a lazy bones and just lie around all day and dream about Carnegie Hall, you need to know that to be a truly great opera singer, you must practice, practice, practice. (That and having a Viking helmet and spiky bra is really all you need.) I can still hear my high school band director saying, “95% perspiration, 5% inspiration.” And this is never more true than when pursuing a career as an Opera Singer.

    As you refine your talent, you’ll find practice will begin to feel much less like work and more like a natural part of your everyday life. For example, you’ll startle yourself by realizing you are practicing your vibrato in a hallway, your volume when you want in or your pitch when you want out. And as you refine your skill and talent, you’ll find your listeners more and more appreciative.

    Consider this career if you;

    • Possess massive lung capacity
    • Communicate your feelings at a very high amplitude
    • Have purrr…fect pitch
