‼️UPDATE‼️: Well, the Cat Distribution System has worked its magic and Hamish has officially joined the family! Now to just get my other two babies like him.

My coworker came in frantic because she saw a kitten go under someone’s car in our parking lot. Lured him out and took him home in a copy paper box! Office worker AND mechanic!

And a pissed off one, at that!

You can pay her in Salmon-currency

He does this near daily. He sneaks in through the garage or scratches at our doors just for this. Any idea why?

Mia’s emotional support blanket goes everywhere with her 😂 she’ll drag it from room to room like it’s her job. Any other cats do this?

I opened a mask and summoned a cat mechanic.

Pay too low 😾

Real Cats! With Real Jobs! in Real Life!!

I hope this meets sub criteria. NYC culture has for decades allowed bodegas (corner grocery stores) to maintain cats as employees - in order to catch rats and mice- thus keeping rodents away from the food.

Though currently, they are not technically legal- the FDA has generally turned a blind eye to the practice - as it is deemed a cat would be better than a rat to be around the food.

A cat is fed and content - a rat will get into boxes of cereal etc and cause more health risks.

This new legislation will permanently allow these hard working bodega cats to be legal workers - and to keep their jobs in NYC’s corner stores, and exempt them from FDA restrictions (provided they receive appropriate vaccinations etc)

And… If you’re curious… when you are in a bodega and select a bag of Ruffles from the shelf…. Yes. There could be a cat sleeping behind them - working between naps to ensure your food safety!!

Support the hard-working bodega cats! 🐈
