22 Purrfessional Photos of Cats Who Clock In For Tips, Not Tasks

Some cats chase mice, and some chase the tip jar. These shop cats aren't in it for the hard work. They clock in each day with one goal: collect the love, the scritches, and maybe a few coins for their purrformance. Whether perched on a checkout counter like a tiny manager or lounging in a sunbeam by the window, these kitties have mastered the art of looking busy while doing absolutely nothing.

Sure, they don't stock shelves or ring up customers, but they know how to work the room. Head boops for tips, slow blinks for sympathy, and the occasional paw swipe at your wallet. From bookstores to cafes, hardware shops to corner stores, these feline freeloaders charm their way into customers' hearts (and pockets) without lifting a paw.

After all, who can resist tipping the "employee" who stares into your soul as you fumble with your change? These cats may not take inventory, but they're pros at collecting what counts: admiration and snacks.
