Desk Cat

July 20, 2022 By Wendy Scherer Leave a Comment

We adopted a bonded pair of cats a few months ago. Six-year-old siblings, Remy and Grace, are the king and queen of our house now.  Remy (the gray cat) really likes to sit on my desk while I work. He’s covers a lot of real estate and I’m constantly pulling files out from under him. He loves my mousepad. He puts his paw on my hand when he wants me to stop typing and pet him. It’s a very effective strategy.

It got me to wondering who else has such a helpful cat. So, being the social intelligence researcher that I am, I ran a query.

Seems like 8am is a big cat on desk time, and Thursdays. (Sample set is not huge here, but play along?)

I want to know where the cats go on Fridays. Why are there no cats on the desks on Fridays? Are people working more 4-day work weeks? It sure looks like it!

From this topic wheel, you can see the popularity of the Muriel Spark tweet — which is linked below. As a cat person, I can tell you that I guffawed.

 

That’s it. That’s my random search of the day. Now, I’m going to go pet the cats.

About Wendy Scherer

Wendy knew from her years as a partner with Bozell Worldwide that there was a great need for knowledge synthesis and business research that was more than a mere information dump. To address the market need for finding and digesting complex business research, she founded Scherer Cybrarian in 1995. The business grew and expanded over the years to include primary research, GIS, news aggregation and monitoring, and much more. But what she loved the most was the emerging world of social media research. (Don’t laugh. Everyone should love their work as much as Wendy does!) As this segment grew, it became apparent that this specialty could stand on its own to grow and change with the times. And so, The Social Studies Group was born in 2009.
