Samantha, in her role as executive director, appoints boardmembers. Note that when a cat meows during a recording, this is not an interruption but rather an executive giving orders. We admit it: cats run the place.
Samantha is prejudiced and will never appoint a dog to the board of directors. As visible from the example at left, dogs get stuck in blue collar jobs as security staff. Birds, goldfish, and other creatures are welcome to attend board meetings as hors d'oeuvres.
