ORLANDO, Fla. — Thousands of cats were promoted this week from pets to coworkers as their owners transition to working remotely to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
Are the cats happy about it? The jury is still meowt.
But there is fur-midable joy to be found under the trending topic #quarantinecats on Twitter. Some cats are basking in the additional attention, while others are ready to fire their humans and send them back to the office.

While reporter Megan Cruz shared a photo of the reality of working from home when you have both a cat and a dog vying for your attention.
Anyone else now working remotely from home? I must say - it’s hard to get work done when your cat keeps climbing into your lap and your dog keeps giving you sad eyes because you’re not playing with him 😆
