Have you meet a cat? If they could talk it would be like talking to a spoiled todler. They will only do what they want and make a scene if you don’t do what they want right now! I think it would be worst for the humas. I know my life would be (more) ruled by my cats.
Parrots and Crows talk and we don’t employ them.
There are cities in Scandinavia who’ve set up vending machines where crows can deposit a cigarette butt to get a food pellet. That’s a little like giving them a job.
I like how you assume they wouldn’t be our overlords :D
Dogs working contribute to society, but don’t talk. I don’t know why being able to talk would suddenly change things for cats.
If cats could talk, they’d say “Shut up and give me my food, or I’ll eat you while you sleep.”
Yes. Loud, egotistic and obnoxious when in their comfort zone. Disappears in blink of an eye when shit hits the fan. Got several colleagues like that. Wouldn’t know the difference.
I think my dogs wouldn’t mind jobs at all, but the cats? No, they are not employable.
We are but cats’ rich friends
I think that’s an unrealistic expectation. Cats gonna cat. Even talking ones.
Some cats do work, catching vermin.
Nope, cats are assholes. Can’t expect them to do anything.
If cats could talk, they wouldn’t be cats. So it’s not really possible to answer this question :)
