Really loved this pearl:

“You and your clients will have good and bad days: A missed deadline, a late payment. A day when someone’s grumpy as hell for no clear reason. It happens. Talk it out. Be patient with each other and it’s amazing how, 24 hours later, what seemed like the end of the world was a minor bump in the road.”

Now cmon… get some work done and stop tickling our clients tummy’s.

Some clients if they are business people, are like budgies though… never stop TWEETING……… about themselves LOL

:-)

I wrote a whole post on this, but cats are also an excellent source of business and marketing inspiration. For instance, if you want something, ask for it (meow!). Use more than one marketing tactic (if meowing doesn’t work, try rubbing a leg or jumping on a keyboard), etc.

I would add another difference is that you can’t put clients down unlike cats. (Sometimes this is a real shame!)

Another similarity is that sometimes the cat and the owner are just not compatible and there is no choice but to re-home the cat. The owner will often experience an emotional roller-coaster doing this, and it happens very rarely, but when necessary it is the only way and in the long run it is best for everyone.
