Cat Work

Every morning, siblings Chloe and Jim-Bob go outside to work. Here's what they do:

Chloe free-lances at whatever work needs doing—rodent-control, bird-watching, insect-catching, supervision, etc. This morning, for instance, she's inspecting farm equipment.




Jim-Bob maintains an office where he does primarily security work and rodent control on a particular part of the yard.





Chloe usually takes a long lunch break and quits work about 2 PM. Jim-Bob, however, only takes a short break and usually works overtime.

Did you catch Jim-Bob in a compromising position?

I caught him chasing some little squeaking furry critter. But I don't think he caught it.

Chloe is obviously in the union.
