Cat Claims to Be Working, Actually Just Playing Candy Crush

Cat Claims to Be Working, Actually Just Playing Candy Crush

When Fresno the cat called in sick to work on Monday, he told his boss it was because he had been up all weekend working on the TPS reports that were due midweek. Though there is some truth to that – he spent most of Friday finishing the reports – the real reason he hadn’t slept was a particularly difficult level of Candy Crush Saga. 

According to roommate Harvey Quinn, who spoke to The Fluffington Post because he wanted to “get back at Fresno for chewing up his iPhone charger cord,” the cat spent most of the weekend trying to beat level 181.

“He’s trying to get 3 stars on every cleared level,” explained Quinn, “so 181 is pretty hard. You need 65,000 points in 50 moves.”

Quinn said Fresno barely got any sleep and replayed the level hundreds of times.

“You could hear him meowing in frustration all weekend,” said Quinn. “I tried to get him to just watch a YouTube cheat video, but he refused. Something about wanting his victory to be sweet.”

Fresno could not be reached for comment.
