TikToker Joey Grubb, who goes by JY, works at King\u2019s Outdoor Power in Clinton, South Carolina. The shop has a resident cat named Miss Briggs, whom JY jokingly refers to as their HR manager. While she may not have an official job there, it\u2019s obvious she\u2019s the one who really runs the place.<\/p>\n
Make sure your sound is on as JY tries to coax Miss Briggs, who\u2019s napping in his chair, to move so he can get some work done. She\u2019s not a fan of this plan and refuses to budge. And when he finally manages to get her out of the chair, her reaction completely shocks everyone!<\/p>\n
She barks like a dog! She swatted at him, too, but everybody was surprised to hear her meow bark! JY<\/a> explained in the caption, “Miss Briggs the shop cat does not like to give up her office chair. Sometimes she thinks she is a dog, and she will literally bark when she is not happy!”<\/p>\n Related: Cat Gets Outed As ‘Neighborhood Bully’ and the Evidence Is Tough to Deny<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n After hearing Miss Briggs bark, you probably won’t be surprised that the video went viral, with more than a million views and over 1,200 comments.
