Crappy Boss Gets His Office Messed Up By The Unit Cat As Way To Show Him How Much He's Hated
A crappy boss really thought he could slide by, until the unit cat decided to make his office a problem he could not ignore. What started as normal workday tension turned into a full-blown, litter-and-chaos situation that left everyone else staring and the boss fuming.
OP and the enlisted staff were already dealing with the fact that the cat seemed to tolerate them just fine, but that did not stop the cat from “helping” in the most petty way possible. The office got wrecked, the desk needed sanitizing, and they even had to order a new office chair, all while the underlying hate between employees and their boss hung in the air.
And yes, it comes with a full cat tax.
The story begins
The cat tolerated the rest of the enlisted staff
In the chaotic office depicted in the article, the underlying tensions between employees and their boss are palpable.
They had to clean up his office, sanitize his desk, and order a new office chair
Cat tax
That first “cat tax” moment is where it stops being funny and starts feeling like revenge from the enlisted staff’s favorite judge, the unit cat.
Owning a pet makes you probably aware of the intelligence that sometimes accompanies our furry pals. They pick up nonverbal communication skills from us, and we work together to comprehend each other's feelings.
However, when our pets begin to understand that we don't always offer them what they want, this intelligence can turn against us. Indeed, mishaps do occur, particularly for young pets who still have a lot to learn.
But then, it appears that this amusing story is less the result of genuine errors and more of planned retaliation. Let's check out what other Redditors have to say about the story.
What they are saying sup...
She was content because she was all pooped out
After the cat tolerated the rest of the enlisted staff, it went after the one person who clearly did not deserve that peace, the boss.
Petty office chaos like this also reminds of the cat that abandoned its original owners for another family, then came back years later.
Studies show that when employees feel disrespected or undervalued, they may engage in passive-aggressive behaviors as a form of retaliation.
These behaviors can erode team cohesion and negatively impact productivity.
Addressing these issues early on is crucial for maintaining a positive work environment.
That is one heck of a cat-tastrophe
The OP says his desk was decorated two times
Once they had to clean up his office, sanitize his desk, and order a new office chair, the whole situation got messy fast.
Research published in the Journal of Occupational Health Psychology shows that humor can serve as an effective tool for diffusing workplace tension.
When used appropriately, humor can foster camaraderie and improve relationships among colleagues.
However, it's important to be mindful of the context in which humor is applied to avoid misunderstandings.
Cats will always get their revenge
The look of disgust and looking away
The look of disgust and the cat casually looking away is basically the closing argument in the boss vs. unit cat courtroom.
These activities can facilitate open communication and foster a sense of belonging among employees.
Creating an inclusive culture can mitigate feelings of resentment and improve overall morale.

Revenge is said to be best served cold, but it's also best delivered by someone who is well familiar with us. Our cherished fur babies are the ones who know us the best.
We devote our lives to providing our pets with the greatest possible care, including delectable snacks, leisurely walks, and the coziest beds possible, because we love them unconditionally. But they are capable of hatching cunning plans of revenge against us, just like in this story.
This incident underscores the complex dynamics that often exist in workplace environments.
Now he’s wondering if the cat was the only one who finally told the truth.
