What would happen if they hired cats?

If HubPages hired all cats to replace the human workers. Would that sort of move improve ratings? The site would undoubtedly suffer in productive things. Cat nip adds would run all over the place, and things would be in a bit of disorder.
However, Cats are fun and loveable. The logic goes that people would be able to easily love the cats that were in charge. Only serious consideration please.

  I know a cat that's looking for a job right now, so, yeah, I like the idea. He's Siamese though. Hard for Siamese Cats to get a job in this field. Maybe this is his chance. He'll be very happy, I can tell you that. Yes, I'm groggy right now, just woke up.

  Hmm, I'm going to have to frown upon it. I just don't think I could take all of the napping, sudden and random acts of bathing oneself in public, clawing, shedding, snobbery, demanding, Devil-may-care attitudes busting loose all at once up in here! But then again and on second thought, we could control them all...slip them a bit of nip and a bowl of milk...when the cat's away....

Banned OP or not, I'm replying here....

I'm not sure that hiring all cats as staff would do much for the site, but I sure think that requiring that all Hubs be on the subject of cats - with lots and lots of pictures added to those Hubs - might mean a tremendous increase in traffic to the site. I don't understand why HP hasn't gone with the whole "all-cats-all-the-time" school-of-Hubbing yet. Cat pictures get lots of traffic. Imagine what cat pictures with at least a thousand words could do!

  I don't have a cat. Once, as a junior in high school, I was forced to dissect a cat. I fought it tooth and nail... (or hammer and... something Will said... Can't remember.) Anyway, they actually brought my mom in and told her I was going to have to do it or get a zero in the class. I was so upset, I just forced myself into "go-mode." I skinned it, and instead of cutting out it's organs, I just pulled them out.... I don't like dead things and I felt like some kind of monster ripping out the parts of something that was once living. Horrid. And I didn't really like cats before that incident. Whenever I see a cat, I think, "I know what you look like on the inside."

  Ugh, I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I never had a cat as a kid, though I always wanted one. I love animals, and would refuse to do that, period. I'd take the damned zero!
  I now have 7 cats, and I love them all immensely. I cannot imagine having to disrespect their mortal remains in that fashion after they pass. I had trouble enough when the vet autopsied one who died of a mystery illness--I couldn't bear to take her out of the box the vet put her in, even though I wanted to put her to rest in her nice, favorite little bed...I didn't want to see that incision line on her belly...ended up just putting the box on the bed. :-(

  I once lived in a house with an idiot. She had a family of cats in the house too, all untrained. I think she wanted to sell them or something. But anyway, these cats used the whole house as a litter tray.
  I used to walk into them at night going to the bathroom. We used to find stinking turds in the shower, hidden behind the sofa (in various stages of decomposition) and on the handles of the door (don't ask, it's a long story). She never once picked up any of them. The house had a special scent.
  I moved out when she brought back 4 puppies and 2 adult dogs.

  Yeah, an alcoholic couple lived in a caravan on the lawn so they were always screaming at each other at night. The house was on the police drive-by list because the disturbances were so common. It wasn't in a rough part of town or anything, it's just that all the people who lived there were horribly dysfunctional.
  The woman who had the cats still didn't even know my name after 2 months of living there and speaking to her on a daily basis. I heard she got fed up with the dogs and started trying to give them away to children without consulting their parents. She probably abandoned them in the end.

  I find it hard to believe that any school would expect you to dissect a cat! I studied Life Sciences at college and the worst thing I had to do was vivisect a cockroach.
  
  I cut off its legs so that it could not run away. Then poked around its still beating heart. Then ripped out its intestines, turned them inside out and watched as they transported sugar from one side of the gut wall to the other.
  
  It was a fine preparation for these forums, actually, when I think about it.

  That is a great idea. I bet those type programs are a tremendous help. Indeed, it is sad when nothing can be done other than putting them down due to overpopulation. Poor things.

Thankfully the only things we had to dissect in high school were worms and crickets. I thought both of those were pretty gross anyway so I had no problems cutting into them.

The girl at the lab table behind me bolted out into the hallway and lost her lunch during the worm dissection, though, which caused quite a sensation.

  I don't know what you're talking about. I just know when you don't show up, I feel deeply lonely. But don't let that bother you! I can always go back to drinking!

  You write the names to remember who to blame. So no matter how drunk you get you still have someone to hate.

  Well the OP was about cats, in a round about way, and then the convo went in the direction of someone saying they had to dissect a cat which led to the dead cat topics. Sorry for my part in it, back to the topic of your birthday, I guess.

  No need to have to explain it to me at all. Is this you trying to be snarky or just rude? I can't tell.

  Well you were doing that whole thing ppl do when they're trying to say something kind of hurtful, but they pretend instead that they've been wounded.
  
  "Sorry for my part in it, back to the topic of your birthday, I guess." You could hear the Debbie Downer music in the background. This is a thread started by a troll. It has zero meaning in the scheme of things. If we are not free to chat freely here, than I am moving to Russia (pre-cold war state, as it is probably a lovely place now.) Either way, it's my 22nd birthday and I don't want to play this game today.

  So they go backwards? Funny. Do you just sit around googling all day to appear incredibly smart or do you really just know way too much stuff? Either way, I will hang around you until you can stand me no more and surely some of your knowledge will rub off.

  I was not trying to be hurtful in any way. I was pointing out that there was an OP about cats and then you made it about you, clearly. I do/did not know the original poster or their reputation here. What should knowing them matter as long as the topic is being discussed, at least in a relative way?
  
  I'll leave you to the Beth show.
  
  Have a great day

Considering that stats/earnings haven't been updated in nearly 24 hours now, maybe they've already hired cats... and they're all taking an extra long catnap.

Whether or not things would be better or worse, depends on whether they would hire cool cats, alley cats, or just plain junk-yard cats (Oh, wait...that's junk-yard dogs...NEVERMIND!!!!)

Leave the unkind ones alone today, Beth! And have a good birthday.

I have to go unfortunately.

I found the cat by the way. Pin it to the bobble!

I could only get platinum. Hope that is OK.
