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.
Maybe an Associate degree?
It seems the owner is selling fashion on Instagram and training to be a Pilates teacher. Maybe the degree wasn’t that expansive.
A cat teaching Pilates? I thought it was an MBA or something, but this no longer sounds believable.
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.
How did that cat even get through admissions?! I smell a bribery scandal.
We had a black lab graduate yesterday!
Why you got to bring race into it
Another DEI graduate 🙄
That cat refused to wear that cap lol
Funny if the cat was called Desmond.
Not sure if it’s the same across the pond but in the UK a ‘Desmond’ is the score 2.2
Wait, can you graduate from uni just by turning up? No exams?
Cats have pretty privilege in levels humanity can’t reach.

That erudite-looking sonofabitch!
Wait until his student loans come due
Plot twist: the cat did most of the actual work.
It was all in ventinary science and mouse psychology
Gets college degree, remains an unemployed leech.
Unemployed by choice I guess
oh that’s where all the braincells went
Unreal Tournament Austin?
“University” of “Texas” (derogatory)
Doctor of Divinity degree
I support this.
OMG I hate these fake headlines. The cat can’t graduate. She only audited the classes.
No, it’s true! The cat’s already got recruiters putting job offers in her inbox.
Her inbox is also her outbox, though
Suki will be the least annoying UT Austin grad ever
