The Tuxedo Cat, Chairman of the Board

In the high stakes world of household management, Felix is the undisputed CEO. Dressed impeccably in his permanent black and white formal wear, he treats every surface like a boardroom table. Today, the grey laminate desk serves as his executive suite.

He has mastered the art of passive supervision. Rather than pacing or meowing orders, he simply reclines. He stretches his long, elegant limbs across the cool surface, letting his white tipped paws dangle casually over the edge. It is a power move designed to intimidate the staff. By occupying the exact spot where paperwork usually goes, he ensures that all productivity halts until he receives the appropriate amount of admiration.

His wide, chartreuse eyes are locked onto his subordinate. There is a question in that gaze, perhaps asking why the treat jar remains closed or why the scratching post has been neglected for the last hour. With his ears perked forward, he listens for the distinct sound of a can opening the only meeting agenda he is truly interested in. Until that sound rings out, the work day is officially on hold. The boss is watching, and he expects high performance.
