This Cat Has Spent 9 Years Running a Store Without Taking a Day Off

When this ginger beauty was a kitten he needed a home, so an employee from a store in Chinatown, New York, decided to bring him in so he could have a place to stay. Since then, Bobo the cat has spent 9 years working at a store. He didn’t take a single day off, and he absolutely loves his job and the customers!

‘At the store, he likes to sit near the entrance and greet customers. He has his own scratcher lounge towards the front of the store and likes to sit there. He also likes to look out the window, a curious cat!’ Annie Liao who works at the store told Love Meow.

Liao started working at a store back in 2014 and immediately became Bobo’s caregiver and cat’s human number one. Liao even says that the cat does a better job than her. Apparently, Bobo loves greeting customers with a meow and showing them around. Liao calls the cat ‘the king of the store’ and says that this furry beauty is very calm, friendly, and loving. The employee even created an Instagram account for this furry shopkeeper, so now the whole world can see what this smart feline is up to.

    Why do most Chinese stores have their pets. Particularly cats. Seems like the store is already the house of the owner.

    Maybe because in Chinese we have this saying call "fortune cats". There are stores with cats figurines and the paws will keep swinging as in bringing in the fortune for the business.

    Don't get me wrong, that is great people care and love him and all... We need more people like that. However I'm against bells on the collars. Maybe he get used to the sound but I've seen cats with such stuff on their necks and they usually make them mad.

    I put a bell on my alpha cat so she could not sneak up on my other cat and attack him. It was away of calming my nervous kitty.
