The Wellesley Board of Selectmen covered lots of important territory during its Tuesday night meeting. The agenda included everything from climate change to union contracts to spending of CARES Act funds.
But the highlight, just after the 40-minute mark, came when a curious cat named Doc Zoom-bombed Chair Marjorie Freiman as she discussed library staffing.
I mean, dogs barking and kids being kids have become old hat on Zoom calls. But this cat’s timing for a bit of comic relief was just purrfect.
Freiman seemed unfazed by what’s now become a cat video, no doubt used to the rascal’s shenanigans.
Still, you just didn’t get that sort of entertainment when the board met at town hall.
More kitty!

Nice to see this warm and fuzzy member of the Selectmen’s team make an appearance!
He is a good boy. Marjorie loves her cat!
Doc is a valued and welcome addition to our meetings. His calm demeanor and quiet presence sets a positive tone to our deliberations.
Cats, dogs, kids, etc should not be part of a meeting. Ever. In March? Ok, we were all getting used to things. But 6 months later? No excuse.
If you did that at work you would fired. Same rules should apply.
We always appreciate feline feedback!
Doc sits with me at every meeting, he just normally stays put…
Please tell me he’s not named after Doc Gooden
Doc Gooden wasn’t a “southpaw.”
