r/Bestof Extremely Weird Coworker is Obsessed with Cats

Dean story: This is why SA victims don't bother reporting it. It only serves to re-victimize the victim over and over again, usually just so the assailant can be cut loose or given a slap on the wrist.

“I’d rather not divulge too much more at this time-“ Oh yeah, lawyers definitely got involved. 😂

Last story: As soon as a lawyer steps in, those idiots realized the shit storm they were trying to summon upon themselves.

Interesting how universities are so ready to post, hold seminars, and everything else to "prevent SA" but when a victim comes forward and seeks justice LIKE THEY'RE ENCOURAGED TO BY FACULTY they don't wanna help

Story 1: Maaaaan, this guy just seems like an entitled douchebag who weaponizes mental health to get what he wants. This was a satisfying ending lol

Used to take a cat to and from work every day for years. Trained her as a kitten, trained her to a leash, cat box in the back room, one of the most chill and friendly animals I’ve ever lived with. Based on my experience, I ASSURE YOU this person would not be equipped to actually DO what’s needed to succeed at this plan. It can be done. But not by this person. Alas.

First story: the boss being stuck on training a cat is absolutely sending me 🤣🤣🤣🤣

A trained guide dog would have no problem with a cat, or any distraction.

Story 1: As someone with AuDHD, depression, anxiety, OCD and chronic migraines, people like this are the reason why I fear asking for help or accomodations at my university. Deeply ashamed that people out there weaponise their disabilities like that. I'd really be worried for that cat. (For the record, yes, you can train a cat, but not in the way suggested here.)

For what it's worth, it is possible to train a cat. We have a diabetic kittah and we've trained him to come and get his twice-daily insulin shots. We show him the insulin container and/or call him to come get his medicine and he comes right over to get his shots.
