Do you love cats?

Would you like to spend all day petting cats – and being paid for it?

If the answer to both questions is yes, you might be interested in the fact that a Dublin-based veterinary practice is looking to hire a ‘cat cuddler’.

As in, they literally want to pay someone to play with kitties all day.

But what qualifications do you need for this incredible job?

Just Cats veterinary clinic say they’re looking for someone with lots of ‘cattitude’, and someone who cares about helping out homeless felines.

The surgery is the first cats-only clinic in Dublin and although they’re an equal opportunities employer, they say they do discriminate against dogs attending the clinic as patients’.

Which is fair enough.

Here’s what they’re looking for:

‘The ideal candidate must have gentle hands capable of petting and stroking cats for long periods of time.

‘They need to be softly spoken and capable of cat whispering to calm the nerves of some of our in-patients.

‘An ability to understand different types of purring is a distinct added advantage in helping you secure this position with us.’

All you’ve got to do to apply is email them a cover letter and CV.
