Dogs aren't the only smart animals that have jobs. This might come as a surprise, but some adorable cats don't shy away from getting their paws dirty as well. And to prove that they got more important things to do than knocking stuff over, people are posting pictures of the most hardworking felines. Some help their owners promote a garage sale, some are busy mousekeeping, but no matter big or small, their efforts are always appreciated. Scroll down to enjoy the pics and upvote your favorite employees of the month!

The Incredible Nursing Cat

The Incredible Nursing Cat

Rademenesa was diagnosed with an inflamed respiratory tract when he was 2 months old. He survived the ordeal and now lives at the animal shelter and keeps other sick animals company and tries to nurse them back to health

KimfromNorway Report

There have been numerous cute cats who held real jobs as well. For example, when Empirical Brewery in Chicago noticed that their grain is being eaten by rodents and insects, they started thinking about the best way to solve this problem and decided to get four cats who now stroll around the 8,000 square foot brewery and look for anything they can catch.

This name is so confusing for me as a Hungarian, because "Pál" is Paul in English, and "Dániel" can both be a surname and a given name (Daniel). So the way I read it, she doesn't have a name, she's just simply the daughter of a guy called Pál Dániel.

She is well-equipped for the job, with a giant ears to hear the tiniest mouse rustle.

My cat was tracking a mouse that got in last week and I woke up at 1am to a scuffle going on. Turns out, he got his arm stuck reaching under the baseboard heater. I thought I was going to have to call 911, but got him out after I ripped the front of it off. Scared the hell outta me!

This is my favorite thing in the whole world! When we were in Iceland we met the Russian embassy cat. A big black cat with a round friendly face, almost like a British Blue, his name was Boris, he used to sleep on the patch of grass where the hot water came into the embassy when the weather was good outside. He always came to greet us when we walked passed. he also had a girlfriend who came to visit every now and then.

There was a historical restaurant here (1700's inn) who had an official mousekeeping cat. They had to keep him confined to the basement during working hours, though, thanks (hah!) to the local health dept.official, who evidently preferred mouse droppings to the occasional cat hair.

You know it’s a girl cat because her surname ends with dottir Icelandic for daughter

Another intelligent animal, Felix, has been working as the senior pest controller at Huddersfield Railway Station for years. He even has his own name tag and a neon vest to go with it. This mouse-catching master also loves filling in at the ticket station and chat with travelers.

Experts say that this method of pest control is much more cost effective and humane. The use of these adorable animals eliminates the need for harsh chemicals and poisons, which is better for the environment. As for the humanity of it, the introduction of cats to a vermin-ridden area alone can eliminate pests without any killing — the feline scent and droppings alone are enough to drive out rodents, because rats won’t even reproduce near such predators.

But cats can hold other positions, too. Most of us have heard of therapy dogs, but cats can apply for this job as well. Thula is a great example of that. She was paired with a 6-year-old girl named Iris who lives with Autism, and the situation has improved for the better ever since.
