They didn’t offer the cat a Chair, but there’s really no need to.

I don’t think I’ve ever met a cat that didn’t act like it already had tenure.

This cat was honored in 2022 by CMU. Is it real? I don’t care - cats are awesome.

@Rusty_Blazenhoff Carnegie Mellon is in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

You can make it out on the diploma.

[RickMycroft]

You just have to have the right thesis advisor.

Closer inspection suggests a photoshop-type job (the differing contrasts, let alone the odd centering) but this being the internet, “I’ll allow it,” and have half a mind to perform the same exercise with my own cat(s) and diploma(s).
