Employees at the office of San Francisco, CA mobile app startup Flizzl are unhappy about their new office IT cat, Albert. According to sources close to the situation, employees have filed at least two complaints with HR about the cat’s attitude.

“He’s always judging you,” said software engineer Miriam Cole. “I’m a programmer. I’m pretty good with computers, so it’s not like I’m asking him stupid questions. But no matter what, he always acts like whatever is wrong is my fault.”

The cat has remained aloof despite attempts by coworkers to connect.

“He always eats lunch alone,” said marketing intern Cameron Duthier. “And it’s always the same thing: sardines. Just sardines. It’s weird, man. I’ve tried to sit with him, but he just gives you that look of his. Makes me kinda uneasy.”

Duthier says he’s also tried to invite Albert out after work, but the cat doesn’t want to socialize outside the office. 

“I get it, he’s always fixing stupid computer problems at work all day, that’s enough to drive anyone nuts,” said Duthier. “But he’s got to relax once in awhile.”

Ronald the cat is suing the makers of the “Ocean Sensations” cat food as well as several area pet stores that carry it on the grounds of what his attorneys claim is unauthorized use of his likeness.

“Ronald has a pretty active social media presence,” said Carol Detweiler, the head of the cat’s legal team, “and it’s clear that the cat food company took a photo from his feed and photoshopped it for the box art and advertising.” 

A spokesperson for the company said, in part, that the claims were “preposterous.” 

“We flatly deny using Ronald’s likeness. The cat on our boxes is clearly named Felix. He’s a totally different cat,” said the spokesperson.

Ronald’s lawyers aren’t buying it.

“Unless they can produce this ‘Felix,’ we don’t believe for a second that this isn’t Ronald,” said Detweiler. “We’ve retained the services of a forensic photo expert who will testify under oath that there is 99% certainty that this is a photo of Ronald from his Instagram, with some minor photoshop touch ups.”

The cat is seeking $5M in damages.

Just look at this cat’s face. That is not the look of pride. What did you do? Was it something you said? Something you did?

It’s not clear, but here we are.

Try better next time, okay?

When Floof awoke on Wednesday morning, the first thing she saw was a yard blanketed in snow. The next thing she saw was her local news broadcast.

“School was cancelled almost immediately,” says Fiona Teagen, the kitten’s friend and roommate. “Floof went bananas, she was so excited. She was doing laps around the apartment.”

A day without pencils, books and teachers’ dirty looks was music to her fluffy, triangular ears. Sources close to the situation tell The Fluffington Post that Floof spent most of the day ogling the snowy landscape and sipping hot cocoa in front of her comic books, quietly snickering to herself every other page.
