Cats, though they may not look it, are some of the most diligent and hardworking creatures on this planet. They do not waste their time on the easy tasks, or the mundane, they are drawn to high risk and high reward. Like when they scale the kitchen cupboards to try and get at the treats that you so precariously perched up there. Which is likely how they ended up working in jobs that require hard hats.

And we know that many of you feline fanatics have expressed that you would love to ditch your day job and spend all your time with cats, so we figured you might want to see what that kind of life is like. So as you step into this collection of hardworking felines who are fighting to keep their grip on reality, we want you to imagine that you are spending the day as their foreman or woman. Such that you can closely consider whether this is the life for you.

To keep up with this crew, you need to know your value. Because if a barista who simply handed you a coffee deserves to ask for a tip, then a hard hat wearing cat who built you a building, is more than worth of monetary reimbursement. Always remember to tip generously, they know where you live…

One thing you need to know if you are going to hang with this hard hat wearing crew, is that there are no days off. It is the reason they were hired, because the bosses of this operation knew that as long as there were tasty treats scattered around the work site, their cat employees would come and would come on any and every day of the week.
