   Working from home with a cat means you don't own your keyboard.

   Visual: Pattern interrupt: tight shot of a laptop with a cat's paw already resting on the keys. A person in the background sits holding a coffee, defeated. Text is on screen from frame 1.

   Edit: Start on the tight laptop shot with the paw already on the keys, so there is no fade-in and no intro. Hold it as a locked frame for the full line with a very slow push-in of about 5%. Keep the defeated person soft-focus in the background, so the paw is the first thing the eye lands on. Add no cuts until the line ends.

   She sleeps all day. You open your laptop, and she clocks in.

   Visual: Quick cut: the cat curled up asleep on the couch, eyes closed. Cut to the person opening the laptop. The cat's eyes snap open. Reaction shot of the cat walking toward the desk like she's late for a shift.

   Edit: Use a hard cut to the sleeping cat, then a quick cut to the person's hands opening the laptop. Cut right back to the cat's eyes snapping open as the laptop lid lifts. Finish on a short tracking shot of the cat walking toward the desk like she's late for a shift. Give the cat's eye-snap one extra beat, because that reaction is the joke. Keep it to 3 cuts, no zooms.

   Rule one: the keyboard. You type 'per my last email.' She replies all: 'jjjjjjjj.'

   Visual: Over-the-shoulder shot of the screen. The email draft reads 'per my last email.' The cat's paw slams the keys and the draft fills with 'jjjjjjjj'. Close-up on the cursor sending it. Quick reaction shot of the person's frozen face.

   Edit: Start on an over-the-shoulder shot of the screen with the draft 'per my last email' visible. Cut on the paw slam to a close-up of the draft filling with 'jjjjjjjj'. Cut to the cursor hitting send, then a quick reaction cut to the person's frozen face. Keep the frozen face to about 0.7 seconds and don't linger on it. Make the rule-one title card a simple lower-third that pops in, not a full-screen graphic.

4. 0:15-0:22 · Beat 2

   Rule two: the meeting. Mid-presentation, her tail hits one key and raises your hand. Your boss says, 'Sure, go ahead.'

   Visual: Screen-recording style video call grid with four coworker tiles. The boss's tile is in frame and slowly nodding along (this plants the callback). Your tile has a tiny 'Presenting' label. A cat's tail swishes across the keys, a yellow raised-hand icon pops up on your tile, and the host unmutes with 'Sure, go ahead.' The cat's face slides into your webcam frame. Hard cut to the person's horrified side-eye. Music drops out on the last word.

   Edit: Open on the screen-recording style call grid, with the four stunned coworker tiles visible before the voice reaches the punchline words. Do a slow digital push-in on the person's tile with the cat's rear end and the swishing tail, keeping the tiny 'Presenting' label legible. Make a hard cut to the person's horrified side-eye right after "butt". Do not add a zoom or shake to the side-eye. The stillness is funnier.

5. 0:22-0:27 · Punchline

   She stares at the whole team. Nobody breathes. Then, in the chat: 'Agree.'

   Visual: About 0.3s of silence. Full-screen webcam: the cat sits on the desk, calm and unblinking, staring into the lens, and every coworker tile is frozen. Hold the stare a full 2 seconds, it is the joke. Cut to the chat panel: her earlier 'jjjjjjjj' message, then a typing indicator, then the boss's reply 'Agree.' with a thumbs-up. Comedic sting lands on 'Agree.' The caption 'Agree.' appears only as it is spoken.

   Edit: Hold a full beat of silence, about 0.6 to 0.8 seconds, on the Rule 3 title with no picture movement. Then use a medium shot of the person leaning into the mic with a pained face, mouthing 'so sorry, everyone.' Hard cut to the cat on the desk in the webcam frame, calm and unblinking, staring into the lens. Hold the stare as a locked frame without any zoom. Don't cut away early or add a reaction after the last word, so the laugh has room.

6. 0:27-0:30 · Button / callback

   Her review next week: exceeds expectations.

   Visual: Quick cut to a performance review form with 'Exceeds expectations' ticked and the cat's paw print in the signature box. Final frame: the paw slides back onto the keyboard, cutting cleanly into the opening shot for the loop.

   Edit: Cut to the chat window screenshot with the cat's 'jjjjjjjj' message, then the boss's 'Agree.' reply with its thumbs-up. Let the screenshot sit for the full line so the reply lands without any added effect. Finish on the cat's paw sliding back onto the keyboard, with a clean match cut into frame 1 so the video loops. Put the tag line on the final frame as plain text, not spoken.
