An orange tabby cat named Suki became the first honorary feline graduate of The University of Texas at Austin. According to FOX 7, UT student Francesca Bourdier spent most of her college career at home like any other college student, on Zoom with her cat by her side.
Bourduer said Suki attended every class she had online so she knew she had to include the one-and-a-half-year-old cat when graduation came around.
Through a quick search online, Bourdier was even able to buy Suki her own cap and gown.
Was this an expedited degree? The cat is only a year and a half old. I think this might be fraud.
It only attended lectures, but did no tests or quizzes? Even if it negotiated pass/fail grades on attendance and not exams, the degree should probably have stipulations requiring some number of credits be from letter grades.
At best, this cat was auditing classes. I do not believe it earned this degree and I would not hire it in the field based on it.
I find these statements discriminatory and have decided it’s best we make sure they vote this cat to be Governor of Texas.
Cat’s overqualified for that position.
Maybe an Associate degree?
Plot twist: the cat did most of the actual work.
It was all in ventinary science and mouse psychology
oh that’s where all the braincells went
Wait, can you graduate from uni just by turning up? No exams?
Cats have pretty privilege in levels humanity can’t reach.
What a smart kitten
We had a black lab graduate yesterday!
Why you got to bring race into it
Suki will be the least annoying UT Austin grad ever
Unreal Tournament Austin?
“University” of “Texas” (derogatory)
Doctor of Divinity degree
Imagine applying for a job and having a cat get the job instead of you
Better temperament than me by far I’d wager
OMG I hate these fake headlines. The cat can’t graduate. She only audited the classes.
That erudite-looking sonofabitch!
Wait until his student loans come due
