A little reason to celebrate
Animal · Fun · The Monday after the third Sunday in June
Take Your Cat to Work Day is about cats and the workday, from home offices with a cat on the keyboard to photos of desk companions shared with coworkers.
Take Your Cat to Work Day falls on Monday, June 21, 2027. That is 237 days away.
Cats and work have a complicated relationship. A cat will sit on the exact paper you need, walk across a keyboard mid-sentence, and fall asleep in the warm spot beside a laptop. Take Your Cat to Work Day brings that relationship into the open and gives the office cat, real or imagined, a bit of attention.
For most people the day looks less like a commute with a carrier and more like a home office with a supervisor. Cats tend to be territorial and like familiar places, so a strange building full of new smells and voices can unsettle them. Plenty of cats are happier staying put while their people bring the cat to work in other ways, through photos on a desk, a screensaver, or a video call where a tail drifts past the camera.
Some workplaces already have a resident cat. Bookshops, farms and small corner stores are known for them, and those cats usually treat the place as theirs, with their own sunny windowsill and a schedule nobody else sets.
At home, the day can be a chance to notice what a cat actually does while you work. Many cats nap through much of the day and wake up for short bursts of play. A cardboard box placed near the desk often gets claimed within minutes, which says something about who really runs the office.
