20 PawSome Cats With Serious Career Goals
We can all agree that pets look adorable performing human job roles, and among them, cats may be the most interesting. They rarely use their faces to express their feelings, but the results are hilarious when they do.
If you are a cat owner, you already know that life can't be boring in their company, and their curiosity often gets them into all sorts of trouble. In this post, you can see what it looks like when cats explore their career options in the otherwise human world.
Cats are curious and like to know, "What will happen if they do something?" This curiosity leads them to the funniest situations.

The Atlantic explains why cats look so serious most of the time:
"Cats, she pointed out, simply don’t have the facial muscles to make the variety of expressions that a dog (or human) can. So when we look at a cat staring at us impassively, it appears like a psychopath who cannot feel or show emotion. But that’s just its face. Cats communicate not with facial expressions but through the positions of their ears and tails. Their emotional lives can seem inscrutable—and even nonexistent—until you spend a lot of time getting to know one."

The Atlantic explains further:
"Dogs, on the other hand, have learned to mimic humans. They do that thing where they pull their mouths back into something resembling a smile. They hang their heads in a way that looks super guilty. Just as humans have shaped the physical appearance of dogs, we’ve bred them to be extremely attuned to human social cues. Dogs that repeatedly raise their brows to make cute puppy faces are more likely to be adopted out of shelters."

"A common charge against cats is that they do not care about their owners as anything more than a source of wet food. In studies of pet-owner relationships, scientists have found that dogs are more 'attached' to their owners. These studies frequently rely on a protocol called the Ainsworth Strange Situation, in which the pet explores an unfamiliar environment alone, with its owner, or with a stranger. Dogs are more at ease with their owners rather than with strangers. Cats can’t seem to care less about the human present." - The Atlantic

The Atlantic continues:
"Maybe this says something about pet-owner attachment, but Delgado noted that dogs are used to their owners taking them to new places. Cats are territorial, and they might only leave the house to go to the vet, so what looks like indifference to their owners might just be overwhelming anxiety about a new, strange environment. Plus, the Ainsworth Strange Situation was developed by Mary Ainsworth to study parents and infants—another example of us judging cats on human rather than cat terms."
