Fire the coworker again today and replace him with one of your cats. When you have the meeting with your manager tomorrow, take additional cats with you.

Act like it never happened. Tell him you think he's been working really hard recently and his contributions are not going unnoticed.

Just suck it up, be professional, and sit down at the meeting with your boss.
Apologize to him, and then tactfully inform him that his actions just don't jive with the direction the company is taking.
Then fire him too.

ITT OP realizes he was given a meaningless title in lieu of a raise, and is powerless.

Go in with your resignation letter typed up, give it to the owner and tell him if you are not in a position to pick who works on your team you do not want to work there anymore

tell your boss you're going to make your agency great again.

and that coworker is a MESS, A BIG FAT MISTAKE. too low energy.

if he doesn't allow you to fire him,

nickname him Jeb or even Guacmole merchant.

This feels like a troll thread...

You should be asking yourself how the owner found out. It's possible other people on the team told him. In which case, you've got a potential mutiny on your hands.

How are your management skills?

Go into his office, pull out your dink covered in sticky notes, light it on fire, and yell "YOU'RE FIREDDDDDD!"

Really the only course of action left for you OP.

Thinks he has the authority to fire someone but gets told to GTFO when he tries by the actual manager.

In for updates - big mistake OP.

As someone in the exact same position as you, I would have consulted with my higher up / HR before making a rash decision.

If you need a job tomorrow, I could use a car jockey.

Without the ability to hire and fire, you are no longer an exempt employee and therefore are due all overtime hours worked at 1.5 times the normal rate of pay.

Ok, that doesn't really address the main concern of the misc... will you be taking an as yet undisclosed number of cats into work tomorrow?
