Company Adopts 2 Office Kittens, Debit And Credit, To Boost Employee Morale, Succeeds Perfectly (21 Pics)
Some basic skills of an office employee include the ability to organize office supplies, answer phones, and work a computer – adorable kittens Debit and Credit have all of those skills – almost. ‘Hired’ by the finance/IT department of a transportation company in Ohio, the rescue kittens were employed not for their natural ability to play with boxes but to perform as a morale boost.
The adorable animals have managed not only to delight their office but the entire internet. Introduced on Reddit by one of their fellow employees, the cute kittens were caught on camera hiding under and wrestling with an empty box lid. Understandably people wanted to see more of their hijinx. The office cats now have their own Instagram account with 6.2k followers.

The employee who posted the video to Reddit said the pet cats stay at the office during the evening but are visited on the weekends “for snuggling and playing.”

Animals as a part of the work environment have become an increasingly popular trend over the past few years. According to behavioral psychologist Lotte Spijkerman, dogs and cats can be psychologically beneficial to people. “They reduce stress and increase productivity, mainly because they interact with you of their own accord and, when they pop over to your work station, it’s a good reminder that you might need to take a break,” explained the psychologist.

While having pets can be fun there are some logistics to be such as how to handle individuals with allergies (about 30% of the American population). In the case of this company, the employee on Reddit said, “My building is small—there are only 6 of us. One of them is allergic, but she doesn’t care. The others stay in another building.”

People couldn’t get enough of the pair and wondered how they got any work done
Why is this not a thing?! Like it should be part of the labour laws! "Every office shall employ office kittens/puppies" There would be no strays!!
Holy cow, that's genius! Quick! Somebody who knows a congressman/congresswoman pitch them this idea as a law in America!
Load More Replies...I would never get any work done! I would just love on those 2 fuzz faces all say long!
After the day I had, seeing those kittens really made me smile big.
I don't think I would get anything done at my job having two adorable kittens run around but they would definitely relieve stress. So cute!
OMG!!! They are the perfect pair. So cute. It's a wonder any work can get done. Thank you for letting us be part of there lives.
If I had these kitties at work I would want to take them home with me at night lol
Such a marvelous idea, this has been catching on in a big way, there is so much stress in life, we need more laughter and fun, to play and cuddle with the kittens is a perfect way to have a better day, bless the boss for being thoughtful and wise !!!
OMGosh this is the BEST post ever. Adorable funny kittens/cats I LOVE this story!
Dear Office People: Please don't ever throw away that Staples box. Thank you. Debit + Credit..
awww I want kitties at my work place! But they probably wouldn't fare well at a ER department :( Wish they'd given them better names
Baby cats check the most important thing: Whether one can Solid Snake their way into the office. So far, apparently not.
The kittens are adorable!!! Just a tip tho - kitties love to chew power cords which can harm them. Wrap them up in plastic food wrap. It will prevent them from chew the cords because kitties don't like plastic.
These little furry guys are so adorable. I would love to work in this office.
That's awesome! I wish our office would hire a couple of kittens but one of the bosses is allergic.
Too cute...but I would never get anything done with these two in the office because I wouldn't be able to stop watching them!
Aw cute. My work won't even mail a $20 book to our own contest winner that lives in the same country, and we haven't had a meaningful raise in over 5 years while the profits of our group are skyrocketing. Hooray.
Very adorable :-)! My wife & I have had cats for 31 years now - cats enhance life.
A friend worked for Direct TV and was transferred to Mito Japan for two years. She said there were several pets in the office -- dogs and cats. They visited after lunch break to perk people up. The office also had massage therapists who came around with a stool, propped up your feet and removed your slippers (shoes weren't worn inside the office), then lightly beat the bottoms of your feet with a bundle of reeds for several minutes. She said it was difficult not to fall asleep.
Awww they are so stinkin cute! I hope to work somewhere with office dogs or cats one day.
cutest damn video..and the names are just purrfect...congrats to this office for bringing laughter, love, and fun to the job...
Love this. Does anyone take them home so they're not alone after hours?
I work from home and after a stressful telephone call it can be really soothing to have a lapful of purring cat to calm me down <3
So funny to watch just wonderful hard to get work done when laughing so hard.
did everyone pitch in and pay for their spay and neuter? And shots??? They are so cute and playful and they will befriend everyone. whoever pets or scratches chins will be friends for life.
It might be fun fr the Office Staff, but there might be some Neglect in the Kitties' Care. Everyone assuming "someone else" will take care of them. Eg: The Constant petting, not getting proper sleeping Hours, not getting enough Sunshine, eating the wrong type of Food.
Who does the litter, feeds them, and cleans up after their destructive rampages? Who takes them to the vet and pays the healthcare bills?
I wish my colleagues and management was kind enough to adopt some of the many homeless animals in my country. But sadly, most of people here are selfish
So what happens to office cats when everyone goes home? I hope someone takes them home with them each day.
I wonder if any of the employees ever get hit with anxiety that one of the cats might get lost by a moment of forgetfulness or carelessness. A friend of mine had the coolest and sweetest cat, but his roommate's guests left the patio door open. It still sucks that he never came back, hopefully someone kind took him in.
Stupid roommate. Yeah, that is what everyone who loses a cat hopes but it is seldom true. Too many dangers out there for cats who get out.......cars, disease, coyotes, dogs, mean people.

These two are so adorable together awwww the pic with their tails entwined is just so sweet
in surprised someone wasn’t allergic but that’s gunna be funny once they get older and just meander around
Downvoted! This trend HAS to stop. How would you like to feel like you have a cold 365 days a year? Allergies exist.
All fine and well... until someone is does a wire transfer, one of them jumps on the keyboard, and they have to explain how 20 billion got delivered to some unknown party in Rangoon... who has since closed their account and completely disappeared.
Ofcourse its all cute when theyre still kittens and its all new. But what if theyre older, I wonder how many people come to the office on their free weekends to go take care of the office cats? (As someone who works in an animal shelter I have seen that when baby animals grow up, people can easily lose interested in them.)
I never lose interest in no one and no animal because they are not small anymore. Big cats can be cute AH!
