Cats have a reputation for being aloof and lazy—creatures whose daily schedule consists entirely of napping, snacking, and then napping again to recover from the snacking. But that couldn’t be further from the truth. They can be playful and surprisingly full of ambition—so much so that some of them have even taken on employment.
On the subreddit Cats With Jobs, a dedicated group of felines are clocking in and putting their talents to genuinely good use. And if we’re being honest, a lot of them are outperforming their human coworkers by a pretty embarrassing margin.

She Cleared A Four-Year Mouse Problem In Three Days. The Owner Remodeled The Floor To Match Her
i sold my house and moved into a rental with my kitty, smoke, in 2013. It was not until she died in 2022 that i discovered the house had had mice the whole time. i never saw a single one or any indication of them for the 9 years smoke lived there. it took about a month for them to realize she was gone, then they made their presence known. needless to say, i freaked tf out, so i borrowed the stray kitty a friend of mine had just taken in for the 4 months left on my lease. didn't see a single mouse for those 4 months, so, of course, when i moved, i took kitty with me (with friend's blessing, of course).

Cat As Mail Carriers In 1870s
In-Flight Entertainment System
"Picture this: you're half-asleep on a Lufthansa flight when the cabin lights suddenly flip on. Turns out a big orange cat had escaped its carrier and decided to go exploring. Passengers stayed super quiet, flight attendants grabbed flashlights at first, and everyone teamed up to gently catch the fluffy escape artist without freaking it out. In the end, the cat was safe and the whole cabin handled it like pros."

A Cat From Lithuania Can Now Fire The National Broadcaster General Director
The cat’s name is Nuodėgulis (meaning a burnt piece of wood in Lithuanian), and he was given this right yesterday by the Lithuanian parliament (Seimas), after the opposition started filibustering a change to the national broadcaster law, allowing the director to only be fired in case public interest was not acknowledged while broadcasting or publishing news.
The law was only approved, because the ruling coalition did not fully show up and the opposition managed to get quorum and vote that into law.
