National Cat Day is October 29, so let’s celebrate with cat GIFs!
Cats can be finicky, funny, and ferocious, all within a few minutes. And when you take a closer look, teaching life can be quite similar!
So, in honor of National Cat Day, we proudly present the day in the life of teachers as told through the best cat GIFs we could find!
1. When the alarm goes off …
All the coffee in the world couldn’t prepare you to “adult” today!
2. When you’re late for work and you try to sneak in …
You don’t want to draw any attention to yourself. You also use this move when you’re trying to head out for the day without anyone seeing you.

3. When your coffee kicks in and you’re ready to take on anything …
Bring it on.
4. When your day gets started on the wrong foot …
Can’t you just hit the redo button? Better yet, how about the weekend button?
5. When you try make the best out of a tough situation …
It is what it is, so you might as well make it work.
6. When you figure out how to be scrappy …
If only you had more planning time!
7. When you get five minutes alone in the classroom …
Ahhh, the students are in a lab. You’re just gonna put your feet up, and no one will ever know.
8. When your precious alone time gets interrupted …
They say they’re just stopping by to say hi, but you know you just lost 20 minutes.
9. And then the interruptions just won’t stop …
There goes planning time.
10. When your students say something really sweet just when you need it …
Somehow, it makes it all better.
11. When a parent doesn’t show for a meeting …
It’s been scheduled for weeks! You gave out your cell phone number just for this reason!
12. When you see your teacher BFF …
Even if it’s just for 10 seconds in the hall—all is right in the world!
13. When you get called for a last-minute meeting …

Um, what meeting?
14. When you feel like admin are being a bit patronizing …
You just want to be treated like an adult. Is that too much to ask?
15. When the staff meeting takes a positive turn and is a productive use of your time …
Well, now that turned out!
16. When you just need to quick wrap up two things …
You have exactly eight minutes to bang out evaluations, lesson plans, and letters.
17. When you can finally relax …
There’s nothing like your couch and some Netflix after a long—but fulfilling—day! You earned it!
18. And then you can’t even make it through a single episode …
Zzzzzz. Goodnight, teachers. Thank you for doing what you do.
