Imagine discovering that there are job openings for cat cuddlers in Ireland just when you thought you had everything figured out. This revelation might make you question all the decisions that led you away from the bliss of snuggling kittens in Ireland. It’s a bit of a downer, isn’t it?
Yes, there’s a genuine job listing for a cat cuddler at the Just Cats Veterinary Clinic and Cattery in Dublin, Ireland. And yes, “Cattery” is a real term that could be followed by titles like “enthusiast” or “Operations Manager.” Naturally, the internet quickly caught wind of this, leaving parents everywhere scrambling to rethink their previous assertions that careers as “cat cuddlers,” “professional gamers,” or “ice cream testers” aren’t valid.
Job Description and Qualifications
In the job description for the Cat Cuddler position—yes, this is a real role that pays actual money—the clinic outlines some intriguing qualifications:
- “[Candidates] must possess gentle hands adept at petting and stroking cats for extended periods.” Hand stamina? Check.
- “They should be soft-spoken and able to engage in cat whispering to soothe the nerves of our patients.” Cat whisperer? Also check.
- “An understanding of different types of purring is a distinct advantage.” Purr interpreter? Well, that’s uncheck. Who knew there were various purrs? According to an article from Wired, cats purr for myriad reasons, including hunger, injury, or fear. Now you can check that off too.
The clinic’s veterinarian, Sarah Kelly, emphasized the importance of this role, stating: “We’re looking for someone who can help make both the cat and the owner feel at ease during their visit, providing the best chance for high-quality care.” The job pays between 20,000 to 25,000 euros (approximately $22,000 to $28,000). While it might not be a luxurious salary, it’s still a paycheck for a job that sounds incredibly fulfilling. You wake up early, clock in, cuddle cats, and return home—much like your grandfather’s routine at the factory, just fluffier.
Unsurprisingly, Just Cats has already received a flood of applications from all over the world. Best of luck to all hopeful applicants—may the best cat cuddler prevail!
