Working Cats: A Day In The Life Of An Executive Cat

People think cats fill our days sleeping, sniffing our food occasionally, and playing with strings and balls. For working cats, however, nothing is further from the truthhhhhhha;fassssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss (sorry about that, I fell asleep at the keyboard.

My name is Clementine, and yes, I’m a WORKING cat! I’m the “Director of Enthusiasm” at The Brainzooming Group. My dad runs the company, but I keep his brain zooming and everything running purrfectly.

I’ve been creating enthusiasm for years. It was only after my dad tweeted about me helping him that a Twitter friend said I must be the “Director of Enthusiasm.” Finally I had an official title, and moved into a higher pay grade!

What does a Director of Enthusiasm do?

Since typing makes me sleepy, let me use pictures to show you.

My dad helps clients with creativity so I always hear people on conference calls talking about thinking outside the box.  They must have never been in a box before, or they’d know even if you don’t think inside the box, they are really great for playing.

I spend much of my day on the desk – purring, reading, and batting things around from pile to pile. All kinds of things to create enthusiasm!

I often swat pens and papers my dad is working with to the floor. When that happens, I get moved to the floor too. It’s called “office time out.” With boxes and papers on the floor though, it’s all good . . . and more cat fun!

While I don’t personally visit our clients when we help them come up with new ideas, I analyze the posters full of sticky notes my dad brings back to the office. After reviewing them carefully, I pounce on the sticky notes with the best ideas!

When developing a client’s innovation strategy, we examine things from all angles. Here I am thinking about what would happen if a client turned its business model upside down.

My dad works at the computer all hours. I start my days at five in the morning and am on the job late into the night. If he needs me for enthusiasm, I’m there. Fortunately, I can purr and sleep at the same time.

Since all my job requires is being incredibly cute, overly friendly, and 24/7 purring, I can’t imagine doing anything but being a Director of Enthusiasm! I love my job!

We’d like to thank Clementine and her dad, Mike Brown, for taking time out of their busy schedules to compile this feature.  If you’d like to check out their work, go to brainzooming.com
Do you know a hard working cat?  If so, we’d like to feature them at work.  Please contact me at [email protected].  We look forward to hearing from you!
