Quit your job and get paid to cuddle cats all day
Imagine a world where you could spend your days cuddling adorable fluffy kittens.
A Dublin-based veterinary clinic is making that dream a reality as they're advertising a "cat cuddler" role. It sounds like the best job in the world.
Just Cats veterinary clinic in Clonsilla, Dublin, is looking for a "crazy cat person" who "loves cats". Among other requirements includes "cattitude" -- whatever that means. The ideal candidate will have a track record of feeding stray cats in your locality and they'll feel "warm and fuzzy" when they pet cats.
That's not all you'll need, though...
You'll also need to have "gentle hands capable of petting and stroking cats for long periods of time". *Better crack out that hand lotion now, eh?!*
You'll also need to be "softly spoke" and "capable of cat whispering" to calm the nerves of more nervous cats.
It doesn't end there, though.....
You'll also need to possess the rare skill of understanding different types of purring.
And, on top of all that?
You'll also need a qualification recognised by the veterinary council of Ireland.
Wannabe cat cuddlers can apply by sending CVs and cover letters to [email protected].
Good luck.
