Have you meet a cat? If they could talk it would be like talking to a spoiled todler. They will only do what they want and make a scene if you don’t do what they want right now! I think it would be worst for the humas. I know my life would be (more) ruled by my cats.
Why would they have to? It’s not like they need food, clothes, or shelter, they know how to sustain themselves without the help of money when it comes to those things. Besides, they already serve a good role.
Cats are smart enough to let their humans work for them.
*sorry, we’re on lemmy, let me rephrase :) *
Cats are the OG capitalist who let human feed them, house them and clean their shit while they sleep
If cats could talk, they’d say “Shut up and give me my food, or I’ll eat you while you sleep.”
Dogs working contribute to society, but don’t talk. I don’t know why being able to talk would suddenly change things for cats.
We are but cats’ rich friends
Parrots and Crows talk and we don’t employ them.
There are cities in Scandinavia who’ve set up vending machines where crows can deposit a cigarette butt to get a food pellet. That’s a little like giving them a job.
I think my dogs wouldn’t mind jobs at all, but the cats? No, they are not employable.
Yes. Loud, egotistic and obnoxious when in their comfort zone. Disappears in blink of an eye when shit hits the fan. Got several colleagues like that. Wouldn’t know the difference.
I think that’s an unrealistic expectation. Cats gonna cat. Even talking ones.
Nope, cats are assholes. Can’t expect them to do anything.
If cats could talk, they wouldn’t be cats. So it’s not really possible to answer this question :)
