Ann Dziemianowicz, author of Careers For Your Cat (Ten Speed Press), out August 3, is a major proponent of felines in the work force.

She believes lazy cats should get off their tails and embark on careers just like humans because that litter box, scratching post, and Fancy Feast doesn’t come cheap.

After finding herself with three “unmotivated, underachieving” pet cats, Dziemianowicz became a “professional feline career coach.”

She now claims to counsel kitties “out of an office in Manhattan,” giving them her “Meowers-Briggs Personality Quiz” to pinpoint which job field they’d excel in.

For instance, if a cat is relaxed and mellow they might make a fine yoga instructor, while a sassy “creative extrovert” would be better suited as a celebrity photographer.

Dziemianowicz says she gets “deep fulfillment” from helping cat clients find their calling and lightening the financial burden for owners.
