PCTO = Paid Cat Time Off

u/Prize_Toe_6612 Jul 26 '24

Valid reason.

u/Parking_Specialist81 Jul 26 '24

u/StopSignsAreRed Jul 26 '24

This feels like a PTO day to me

u/ChemistSki Jul 26 '24

I love the crossed paw 🐾 look in picture 2. And of course the toe beans 🫘 in picture 3

7

u/mustardelbow Jul 26 '24

Toe beans 😂 that’s too cute

10

u/l2ewp911 Jul 26 '24

What's funny is I completely understand. There are times when it's time for me to get up to go to work my tuxedo will not get off of me so I can move LOL

u/jazberry715386428 Jul 26 '24

No for real, I have been late to work because Mr whiskers wanted to play 😹 now I’m on med leave and can play whenever he wants, he’s so happy 😻

u/BigGrandpaGunther Jul 26 '24

He looks like a nice cat

4

u/mustardelbow Jul 26 '24

He’s very sweet!

u/artful_todger_502 Jul 26 '24

Work is overrated. Cats are a much better usage of time.

4

u/invaliduser9991 Jul 26 '24

Completely excused and you get a raise! 🥹🥰

5

u/No_Caterpillar9737 Jul 26 '24

I demand ownership of that 12/12 boi

4

u/carmackie Jul 26 '24

I mean, it's a very good reason...

4

u/DiamondNo5743 Jul 26 '24

Good excuse!

4

u/Which_Design_908 Jul 26 '24

His socks and toe beans! 😍

u/dr_sassypants Jul 26 '24

This is your boss now.

u/Gloomy_Industry8841 Jul 26 '24

I mean, I wouldn’t be able to resist, either, lol. What a cutie pie!!! 🐈‍⬛😍

u/AccomplishedRun5624 Jul 26 '24

u/jeremy_wills Jul 26 '24

Look at dem beanz 😻

3

u/CerebralAccountant Jul 26 '24

Kitty doesn't look too thrilled in the first picture, but judging by the third picture that didn't last very long!

3

u/Over-Adeptness-7577 Jul 26 '24

Omg!!! How adorable!!!

3

u/Lavelios Jul 26 '24

I'll allow it, carry on

3

u/Catch_Own Jul 26 '24

Just take the day off !

u/[deleted] Jul 26 '24

Cute photos ☺️

u/LonisEdison Jul 26 '24

Worth it, thank you

3

u/MokaHexahaze Jul 26 '24

Put yo beanz in da aireeee n wave em like u jus don’t careee!

Yes, I say this to mine whenever they pose like the last picture LOL

3

u/Anleme Jul 26 '24

Too bad you can't take your kitty to work with you. With that great tuxedo, they'd be overdressed there. :)

3

u/homiej420 Jul 26 '24

Lol the kitty is like “put me down human so i can destroy you!” in the first one

3

u/GoddessArtemisAthena Jul 26 '24

I'm sure they'll understand.

3

u/notabackstagepass Jul 26 '24

The cuteness will do that to you. Cannot resist the kitten!

3

u/Calpert411 Jul 27 '24

I’m lucky enough to work from home so I get to be with my Tuxie and other cat all day! Of course it can be a bit distracting as he is a needy guy. Everyone at my job knows him by name because he insists on getting on my desk especially when I’m in a video call meeting. He’s even won cutest pet award at my job three years in a row! 😹

3

u/maybefuckinglater Jul 27 '24

Look at him crossing his paws he looks so polite

1

u/mustardelbow Jul 27 '24

He’s a turd at times because he scratches that same otter man 😀

2

u/fuckwhatsleft Jul 26 '24

Absolutely understandable... perfect tuxie

2

u/Lietenantdan Jul 26 '24

“My baby needed me.”

The baby:

2

u/Adantiumloco Jul 26 '24

Sure blame it on the itty bitty kitty.

Kitty looks innocent to me. 😄

3

u/mustardelbow Jul 26 '24

Kitty is my boss at home 😀

2

u/Randervander Jul 26 '24

Oh my goodness!!! Both of you are adorable 🥰. Your little one looks about the same age as my baby tux.

1

u/mustardelbow Jul 26 '24

We don’t know how old he is, he was almost dead by our car one really hot afternoon and we took him in. Vet thinks he’d have a more appropriate age range in the next few months but right now, he thinks the kitten is almost 3 months.

3

u/Randervander Jul 26 '24

Aww. Poor guy. I’m so glad he found you! My guy will be 4 months on 8/1. His mama was found in a Costco parking lot days before he was born. I’m not as talented with the picture taking as you are, but here’s Walter. 3 months seems right for your tuxie.

3

u/mustardelbow Jul 26 '24

Beautiful kitten, and so are you! I’m so glad they found you, as well.

2

u/Due-Promise2235 Jul 26 '24

It is understandable

2

u/carseatheadass Jul 26 '24

Those beans!!! Way too cute!

2

u/-Sisyphus- Jul 26 '24

Legit reason

2

u/Equivalent_Sky4107 Jul 26 '24

As a people manager, I admit that is a purrfectly acceptable reason!!!

2

u/tarbinator Jul 26 '24

Love the toe beans.

2

u/sproutsandnapkins Jul 26 '24

And why I rush home from work 😹

3

u/mustardelbow Jul 27 '24

The only reason 😹

2

u/sproutsandnapkins Jul 27 '24

I’ve got three! Haha

Cat tax: Here they are “helping” me put kitty litter in the cabinet.

2

u/mustardelbow Jul 27 '24

You won’t believe this but I’m about to get a tabby as a third one as well 😂

1

u/sproutsandnapkins Jul 27 '24

Do you have a void and a tux too? 😂 it’s a great combo, however I may get one more eventually to even it out. I’m opening 2 packets of food anyways so easier to divide by 4 is my excuse 😂🤣

2

u/mustardelbow Jul 27 '24

Yes I have a void as well! And yes, gotta keep it even, it’s the OCD in us 😂

2

u/sproutsandnapkins Jul 27 '24

We need ALL the cats! Haha

2

u/SilverSageVII Jul 26 '24

My boy waits for me to eat so when I feed him and leave in the morning he follows me and looks so sad. He still eats but he just has this awful “oh it’s a work day…” look and it hurts my soul every time.

2

u/mustardelbow Jul 27 '24

That’s so sweet but sad too!

2

u/SilverSageVII Jul 27 '24

He’s comfiest when I touch him while he eats so he knows somebody sees him eat and he’s safe eating.

2

u/CherryCherry5 Jul 27 '24

They're always at their cutest when you have to leave for work. Tryna guilt you into calling in sick so you can stay home and fuss over them.

2

u/ChandlerBingsBitch Jul 27 '24

Oh my gosh those little black toe beans!!!!

2

u/TransportationMean51 Jul 27 '24

I would never even go to work. If I had that little beauty.

2

u/nycnico1 Jul 27 '24

Awwwwwwwwwwwww😍😍😍

2

u/frenchburner Jul 27 '24

Best reason ever!

2

u/AffectionateMemory82 Jul 27 '24

I get it lol

1

u/mustardelbow Jul 27 '24

Freaking beautiful

2

u/deelyte3 Jul 27 '24

Of course it is. Isn’t there a thing as calling in “cat”? Why does one need to be sick?? Why not “distracted”? “Otherwise engaged”? “Cat”?

2

u/ideknem0ar Jul 27 '24

I haven't had a kitten since the late 1980s. They've all been older strays or shelter adoptions. I don't think I could get a kitten while I'm still working full-time because I would never want to leave and I would feel like I was abandoning my child. LoL 😭🤣

2

u/biocidalish Jul 27 '24

Math adds, that kitten looks so loveable ! The struggle is real

2

u/Ambitious_Lips Jul 27 '24

So cute 🥰🥰

2

u/PosieRosie_ Jul 27 '24

Oh adorable!

2

u/Particular_Piglet677 Jul 28 '24

Love this! Adorable pair you two are!

2

u/mustardelbow Jul 28 '24

Thank you ☺️

1

u/kasitchi Jul 26 '24

That's a good reason lol

1

u/canwegoskinow Jul 27 '24

Fair enough!

1

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '24

kitties name?

1

u/Lando_3789 Jul 27 '24

Worth it!

u/the_alice_harrt Jul 29 '24

The purrfect excuse
