anything that makes humans happy and results in treats -
Sidney
OFFICE AND FOOD INVENTORY MANAGER
Sidney is all business, ensuring the office runs smoothly and employees are where they should be at all times—especially when his automatic feeder is scheduled. He prefers to work from a cat tree or the bed in his carrier so he can keep an eye on the birds outside.
Hobbies:
napping, eating, snuggling on his terms only, and chattering at birds, dog barks, and human snifflesFavorite type of work:

What Sets Us Apart
Reliability — We do what we say we will.
Candor — If we’re not right for your project, we’ll say so. Kindly.
Value — We do high-quality work at mid-range prices.
Humanity and humor — We write, talk, and work like humans and for humans. (Although, admittedly, Phoenix and Sidney are useless in this area.)
