Friday Fun: It's Cat O'Clock!
This week's topic is Cat O'Clock! Not only are many of us enthusiasts of Atlassian's products, but we're also cat enthusiasts!
I'd love to see pictures of your cats! Any kind of cats are welcome. Big ones, small ones, round one, spotty ones, the list goes on!
Let us know your cat's name, how you found each other, what kind of cat they are, how old they are, and what they like to do in their spare time.
Also, if they were a human, what would their job be?
For those of you who are not cat people, stay tuned for the next two Friday Fun topics, where we will feature dogs and "other".

This is my beauty queen, Simba! She'll be 10 years old in October, but her vet says she looks great for her age ;)
Not only is she a beauty queen, she's also a nap queen and spends the majority of her time lounging and cuddling up to whoever's around.
My girls, Tansy and Luna ♥️
My cat fam: Ripley, TK, and Coconut
Black Aliss, George, Morticia and Eskarina
I'm back from vacation, and I'm ready to explode with some photos!
Meet Cherry - the fat evil beast that tries to kill me in my sleep for more than a decade. If Cherry was a real person.. hmm, I'm almost sure that she will be a CEO for a big company who specializes in firing people.
I'm the only one "blessed" to pet her. Maybe something special is inserted in my genes in her secret lab!
This is my cat, Dorcas! He is posing alongside a pin that my coworker + friend @Laura gave to me :). He is a Sphynx cat, about 3 yrs young, who likes to raise hell in his spare time. He also enjoys knocking things off the counter (the more delicate the glassware, the better).
If he were a human, he would lead a nudist cult.
This is Jef, my chubby partner in crime :)
When he's not being traumatized by the costumes I get for him, he enjoys eating, hiding in the closet, and meowing at anyone and everyone
Super lucky to join this post (excellent timing, @Shannon S ) as I'm cat sitting for the next 2 weeks!
Meet Herman, the 9 month old rescue kitty, and his ears. He would be that shy coworker in the far cubicle who can sense free food being set out in the break room, and zooms in to grab a few pieces of pizza/ cat nibbles. Then gets distracted by someone's shiny new cell phone/ ribbons before getting back to their safety zone eg cubicle/behind the curtain for the rest of the day until 5pm.
He is quite a relaxed kitty all in all, and doesn't mind going for a ride in his backpack.
introducing Moonpie. He is just one of the dogs.
I love all of your cats!!! I completely didn't share mine, but here they are:
Penny Lane
Penny is between 11-13 years old. I don't know because I've lost track of time. I adopted her as a kitten when I went into a pet store to buy a betta fish and supplies. They had cats there from the nearest shelter and I couldn't just leave this little kitten sleeping in her litter box!
She loves eating everyone else's food, starring at the bathtub and hates her diet.
George Catstanza
Formerly a foster of my mother's, she used to call him "a#*$^#@" (censored). He loves eating just the top off of an entire loaf of bread, being rude to Penny, and sleeping near the dogs. I wouldn't trust him with my life.
Mexerica
Mexerica came to me on a cold day in October. He was very skinny and hungry. I lived in Delaware, and he came to my sliding glass door. He was playing with George through the glass. I decided to let him in just for the afternoon, and he never left. Now he and George are inseparable. FACT: "Mexerica" is a word they use in Brazil which is a kind of little orange. My Portuguese teacher named him after I told her that he didn't have a name and I was just calling him "Orangey." This is the only time he let us put this bowtie on.

Although I don't have a cat, I wanted to post this sweet photo of my parent's cat Darby:
This is Jilly, I found her when I was camping in a semi-wild environment. She was still a kitten and would prey on the local wildlife (rabbits, lizards, birds). As a result she is a gifted huntress and I am trying to restrain her bloody frenzy as much as I can. She is also curious and very friendly with all living beings - mainly cats, dogs and humans.
Oh, and she likes being fully relaxed when taking a nap.
Ooops, this is my cat :)
Found her on one of my trekking trips :-)
We rescued them from a rather horrible living situation they were in as kittens, and they've been with us ever since (8 years now!) - they love sleeping as cosily as possible, lounging around in the sun and showing their disgust at our new puppy!
If they were human, i think they would both be food critics!
