We all have an idea of what a cat does. He or she will usually sleep, eat, mate, hunt, and sleep. When we think of our cats, we hardly think of them are the hard-working individuals they could be.

Well, you haven’t met this furry friends! We’ve collected some of the most adorable pictures of kittens who are very hard at work in human jobs. You thought dogs dressed as humans was cute? Wait till you see cats working WITH humans! We know it seemed impossible, but these photos will say otherwise!

Gardening Experts

If you have an outdoor cat, you might recognize how comfortable they feel around plants and other outside environments. Well, this feline wanted to join his owner during his agricultural endeavors by lending a helping paw.

Ok, so he might be taking a nap on the job! Still, anyone who has a cat will know how nice it is just to have a calming presence around while you work. We will wake him up when September ends!

Dr. Cat

Yes, Dr. Cat is a very important scientist who enjoys conducting some very serious experiments! Ok, not really. This cat is a member of Pet Assisted Love and Support (PALS). His real job might just make you cry.

This cat’s whole job is to travel around universities and make sure that children and students are relaxed, calm, and comfortable. Imagine all the kids he’s cheered up over the years? Thank you for your service!

Kitty The Salescat

Who could resist a sale from this feline fella? Well, these shop owners clearly love the idea of having their own little mascot around the shop to help them sell some personal items. With eyes like those, could you resist?

@janysauria / Instagram

She actually has a very important job. If she DOESN’T sit on those boxes all day, just who will? Depending on where you live, you might have seen other cats at stores across the country. We know we have!

Model Cat

This is one of the toughest jobs in the world – especially if you’re a cat! You’re expected to be out all day in the sun with a smile on your face. Unless you make your profession being a ‘grumpy’ cat (RIP), then it can be a burden to smile all day.

@landofmeow / Instagram

Thankfully, this is not one of those cats! Look at that amazing pose with her human buddy. These two clearly have a great relationship and they continue to pose and model all day. Looking good, girls!

Sally The Office Manager

Meet Sally. She’s the very important office cat who is in charge of the admin and manager of this busy library. Make sure you’re not scrolling your social media feeds while Sally is on her shift! She might just catch you.

@kelmscott_bookshop / Instagram

Despite her firm but fair approach to work, Sally has been known to let loose at the office Christmas parties with the other cats. Just make sure she doesn’t have too many treats or she’ll be sick in the plant pot again!

Captain Kitty

All aboard, sailors! This cat is ready to jump ship and steer us all to sea. While most cats don’t like being in water, this one has no trouble riding up on it all day and night. Just where will he take us?

@project_luni / Instagram

This cute kitty is set to travel the seven seas and hopefully find Atlantis one day. His first mission is to rename is ‘Catlantis’ and invite all his friends to sit there all day and eat the fish that swim his way.

Bobby The Builder

Bobby is one of the best cat builders ever employed by a union. He will travel day or night to make sure you get the best home improvements possible. Have a mouse in your floorboards? No problem for Bobby!

@ice_cream_errday / Instagram

Simply invite him in to roam your home and he’ll have that pesky mouse out in no time. If you’ve ever seen an episode of Tom & Jerry, you’ll know how fun it can be to watch. Look out!

Move For The Mow!

Look at this guy’s face – he means business! This cat is doing two things today: mowing the lawn and chewing gum. And guess what? He’s all out of gum. Jump aboard and pull that string – there’s no stopping this train!

@tabbynco / Instagram

We think it’s great how these cats want to help out with the gardening so much. We bet they enjoyed their afternoon nap in the freshly cut grass soon after! They definitely deserve it for all their hard work.

Working On Caturday

Careful! If you work for this office manager you might end up working on your weekend – specifically your Caturday! It looks like he means business while he thinks about crunching those numbers and making the office a safe space for mice, cats, and dogs.

@andre.giantcat / Instagram

Anyone who has ever had an office pet knows how quickly they can fit in with the human employees. Well, this buddy clearly has no trouble being a collaborative member of the team.

Marking Appointments All Day

Cats love to be organized. That’s why they are the ultimate pet to take the reigns of the receptionist duties in the office. Need a meeting with the big guy? Well, this buddy will have no problem making it work for you.

@glendaryning / Instagram

Just make sure you still to the rules of the office! If not, this little guy will be all over you. Late forms, office complaints? This is one cat who doesn’t mind dishing out the dirty stuff. Look out!

But What’s It All For?

Some aren’t cut out for the grind of shop life. Look at Alfie, for instance. His door might be open, but what about his heart? It looks like that might be closed for the day. As he stares out his window all day, he can’t help but ask: ‘What’s it all about, Alfie?”

@andre.giantcat / Instagram

We all get these kinds of days in the office and it’s important to keep yourself motivated. What do you do to keep focused on the task at hand?

Comic Book Cat

Whatever you do, don’t mess up the order! This kitty has been hard at work all morning making sure that all the best superhero comics are on display and ready for purchase. What do you think her favorite issue is?

@wilbur_of_thornbury / Instagram

You probably guessed Catwoman – well, you’d be right! This furry store owner is proud of the representation of cats in the comic industry and will sell them as long as she can. What is your favorite comic book hero?

Shh!

When you are in a library, you should always keep quiet! Not everyone listens to human librarians when they seek quietness, so this library went one better – hired their very own cat. When this fella looks into your eyes, will you be able to say no?

@a_cat_named_lionel / Instagram

Better yet, the library noticed an increase on young visitors who would come to the library to say hi to the cat and take out a book in the process. A success all around, it seems!

Construction Cat

Watch out for that man hole! This kitty is out there in his orange jacket making sure people are safe when walking around construction zones in the street. Each year, too many people are injured by public construction, and this is one of the cats who aim to fix that!

@ozzy_the_shopcat / Instagram

Seriously though, we love how much he seems to take pride in his work. Just look at those eyes and that cheeky smile! We think you’re doing a great job there, buddy!

Nurse Kitty

Meet Jackie. Jackie is cat belonging to the local hospital who goes and visits sick children and elderly folks. Her presence can help make them more comfortable, relaxed, or simply bring a smile to their face.

@rogersterlingthecat / Instagram

Jackie takes her job very seriously and makes sure she always leaves patients feeling than before they saw her. Don’t worry, if cats aren’t their thing, there is a pack of puppies outside ready to lend a paw!

Must Finish This Essay…

Not all cats who work are professionals. Look at this fella, for instance. He’s hard at work finishing his student essay. Sadly, he is working around the clock to make sure he hits his 4,000-word count – meaning he’s in for an all-nighter!

@jkrross / Instagram

We can see him grabbing a quick power nap here to regain some of his energy. Let’s hope he brings his A-Game and sends the professor a satisfying piece of work!

ElectriCat

Here’s Nicholas, only the most adorable electrician cats we’ve ever met. Now, we know what you’re thinking: how can he handle all those cables without opposable thumbs? Don’t worry, Nicholas has you covered!

@ats_and_nicklas / Instagram

He’s more of a mascot and sidekick to his human owner, but people have been rushing to meet with Nicholas due to his calm nature. In fact, it’s bringing the human a bunch of additional business. Good kitty!

Inspector Cat

Cats have high standards, which sometimes makes them the perfect food critic! If your kitty doesn’t like the smell of those pickles at the bar, it’s time to get rid of them. Trust us – you’re place will be better once you listen to your cat.

@docleopold / Instagram

It’s just one of the jobs that cats can enjoy and thrive in, as we can see here. Who knows what will happen in the future and where his inspecting skills can take him. Watch this space.

Would You Like Fries With That?

We’re not sure just how much we’d want a kitty taking our fast food orders. But when you consider how proud he is, tie and all, we might not be able to resist. It looks as though he takes his job very seriously.  

@wilbur_of_thornbury / Instagram

This is definitely the pinnacle of the American dream. Maybe he worked his way up from just a street cat a few months ago, to a store assistant, and now the manager! We absolutely love it.
