There are many decent jobs out there but none would even come close to the one advertised by The Just Cats Veterinary Clinic in Dublin, Ireland. They’re looking for a suitable candidate who will spend their days cuddling cats and kittens.
Yes really. No more putting up with office politics, having people steal your lunch from the work fridge and wondering when you’ll make your escape to something better – because what could be better than listening to the gentle purr of a kitty and actually getting paid for it?!
Naturally the unicorn of job postings has caused quite a stir on social media, with countless obsessive cat lovers posting pictures of themselves cuddling kitties, desperate to get the attention of the hirers.

1. “Gentle hands capable of petting and stroking cats for long periods of time.”
