The Cat That Works At IBM

By TechTaffy Desk

IBM_Cat

We were doing the rounds of social media, and came across this on Reddit. Uploaded by user domibitchminn (thank you, domibitchminn) this is a picture of a cat that supposedly hangs around the IBM offices all the time, so much so, that Big Blue has supposedly issued him (or her) a proper company badge.

Here is the link to the picture on imgur. You can find the link on Reddit/r/Funny as well.

Editor’s note: We are filing this story under Corporate News, but stopping short of putting it under People. If we have a few more corporate felines, we promise to have a Cats category. Meoweriously.
