Welcome to
Happy Monday, furry floofers
Today I thought I'd revive my old Saturday Solutions post under the new banner of Cats Have Purroblems Too, where I give epically epic advice to cats with despurrate dilemmas too great for them to solve alone.
And if mew're wondering why mew haven't heard of this before, well dearest furiends this is a regular segment I ran many years ago, and I think most of the original posts are now archived.
We did run this post last september, and then I must have gone on a mission because it was never reprised and I forgot - OOPS! MOL
Anyhoo, it's back now, so sit back and read today's pet peeve and my solution.
Also, mew may be pondering on what my professional credentials are, so purrlease purruse the list below:
Ph.D. in Kitty Psychology & Psychiatry
BSc (Hons) Headology
Psy.D. Furry Logic
MS. Fuzzy Logic
MA. Common Sense

HELP! MY STAFF PRODUCTIVITY IS DECLINING!!!
Dear Dr. Basil,
I hope this letter finds mew well. My name is Clawdia, and I am a rather posh elderly lady cat residing at a stately home deep in the English countryside. I am writing to seek your advice on a matter that has been causing me great distress.
Mew see, my staff at the stately home have been causing me quite a bit of trouble lately. Despite my best efforts to maintain a harmonious and productive working environment, I find myself facing numerous challenges in managing the human staff members. Their productivity and efficiency seem to be dwindling, and I am at a loss as to how to address this issue.
As a feline of an exceptional high pedigree, I take great pride in the smooth running of my household, and it pains me to witness such a decline in standards. I would greatly appreciate any sage advice mew can offer on how to handle human staff and encourage the best productivity from them. Your wisdom and guidance would be invaluable to me in resolving this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Clawdia Winklebottom (Hon.)
Dearest Clawdia, Thank mew for reaching out to me with your concerns about managing human staff at your stately home. I understand the challenges mew are facing, and I commend mew for seeking advice to address the issue. In dealing with human staff, it is important to remember that effective communication and mutual respect are key elements in fostering a productive working relationship. First and foremost, I would encourage mew to establish clear expectations and provide regular feedback to your staff. This will help them understand their responsibilities and performance standards, and it will also give mew an opportunity to address any issues in a timely manner. Additionally, creating a positive and supportive work environment can significantly impact the productivity of your staff. Show appreciation for their hard work, provide opportunities for professional development, and ensure that their well-being is taken into consideration. Furthermore, leading by example is crucial. Demonstrate professionalism, integrity, and a strong work ethic, and your staff will be more likely to follow suit. I hope these suggestions prove helpful in improving the dynamics with your human staff members. Remember, patience and consistency are key as mew work toward creating a harmonious and productive working environment at your stately home.
