Search is launched to find the country’s cutest pet

A nationwide search has been launched to find the UK’s cutest office pet.

Entries for the competition, run by KitOutMyOffice.com, include an adorable array of four-legged friends, from a feline ‘quantity surveyor’ to a pooch that has made the stationary cupboard its permanent home.

They also include Fred the cat, who works at a centre for anxiety disorders and trauma in Oxford, and has been promoted to ‘Head of Recycling’ after she showed an interest in the paper waste bin – which the adorable moggy has now claimed for herself.

The team at the trauma centre said: ‘We love her dedication to recycling – every time something is thrown in a bin, she hops in to retrieve it!’ 

Another of the four-legged candidates is Walter, the french bulldog, who also goes by the title of ‘Quality Control of the Snack Box and Background Snorer’ at a Veterinary recruitment office in North Yorkshire.

Rabbits also seem to be a popular choice for work-place pet, and Ralph the rabbit has been voted by his colleagues for his role of ‘Salad Stealer’ at a recruitment company.

Gareth Jones of KitOutMyOffice.com, who are running the competition said: ‘Some of us have colleagues with pets who occasionally bring them into the office.

‘And some are even fortunate enough to work in an office with a more permanent four-legged member of staff that is as much a part of the team as the next employee!’
