Capitalism Has Gone So Far, Even Cats Have Jobs These Days (83 Funny Pics)

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.

This happened at a police station in the interior of the state of São Paulo.

His name is B.O., which is the informal name to a police report. People call him delegato, which is a combination of the words gato and delegado.

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.

“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.”
