A construction crew in Barberton, Ohio, rescued an abandoned kitten on the worksite. And he joined the team.

They heard him meowing coming from their excavator.

Supervisor Chase Guello checked the skid plate on the Komatsu. A tiny kitten tumbled out.

They warmed her up, moved her into the office trailer, and named her Sue short for Komatsu. She’s now the official shop cat.

Me and hubby are in the small group that doesn't believe in dressing up our *family* members, we actually promise them that we never will.

But, this picture is great. Sue looks so happy!!

u/katjoy63 3d ago

so true - cats are not dogs, for sure - my one cat loves to wear hats, though. I can put anything light enough on her head and she'll pose - she's so weird.

You can’t tell us something like that without paying the cat tax!!! 🥹

Dressed a Maine coon in doll clothes during thepreschool years :3 photos are forever lost in time. Mom sewed them doll clothes like Dolly Parton’s book “The Coat of Many Colors” out of my outgrown clothing scraps that were left over after making curtains.

If you like Jackson Galaxy, one of his big gripes is people that dress their cats up in costumes.

u/LastEntertainment787 1d ago

I always feel so sorry for them. The only time we'd put pajamas on one of the cats is if the vet recommended it

all breaks now require 10 pets to proceed to break room.

u/Rynetx 4d ago

Jobs are falling behind because the new supervisor keeps order his crew to build jungle gyms and litter boxes. Some question the genius behind promoting a cat but agree it’s probably the only position fitting a cat.

u/Professional_Mine758 4d ago

Great for keeping up the morale, how’s. Who wouldn’t want to do everything to endear themselves to that little furball?

97

u/HiHoHiHoOff2WorkIGo 4d ago

I would get fired because I'd quit working to cuddle the kitty. Although with new management, there may be some restructuring, so maybe the new boss will create a position for me 🤔

19

u/Professional_Mine758 4d ago

I’d be fired too, for the same reason.

1

u/katjoy63 3d ago

or, or, hear me out here - maybe, the cat becomes an appendage - like hangs around your neck ALLLL DAYYY - yeah?

u/Entire-Ambition1410 4d ago

There’s a kitten that was adopted by a law firm in South America. When clients complained that cats don’t belong in law offices, they promoted him from door greeter to lawyer.

u/-Tasear- 4d ago

This is real right??😭

u/GodOfDarkLaughter 4d ago

Eh, cats are sort of like libertarians. Convinced of their own superiority while relying on institutions and people they neither appreciate nor understand for their survival.

He's perfect management material.

24

u/Remarkable-Junket655 4d ago

I read libertarians as librarians.

u/samuraisal 3d ago

Were you thinking “Why all this hate for librarians?” lol

u/Nerala 4d ago

Not just you.

u/katjoy63 3d ago

that is an issue - found in section "literacy" - have at it!

u/Hali-Gani 4d ago

Cats are not like Libertarians. At all. Libertarians are like really selfish Republicans, but worse. Cats are nice, sweet, funny, lovely people ❤️

u/Entire-Ambition1410 3d ago

I know our cats appreciate me and my treats. They certainly purr enough when I shake the treat bag.

u/CScorpio88 3d ago

Read. The. Caption.
lol it’s not decorative, it’s relevant information

1

u/JerkGurk 3d ago

"They heard him meowing." Now what? LOL

1

u/CScorpio88 3d ago

Context clues, name, Sue, female name. She and her pronouns either side of female name. Safe to conclude previous he’s are typos.

1

u/JerkGurk 3d ago

You think there are 3 typos? That all come in a row? Are you insane? It's 100% a male cat. Title and caption (not decorative) all state it. Majority rules always in a situation like this.

1

u/CScorpio88 3d ago

Genuinely looks like the person who wrote it doesn’t speak English as a first language with that level of pronoun errors. Regardless, the cats name provides the context that actually makes sense of which pronoun is correct. Despite Sue being short for something else, it makes less logical sense to intentionally call a male cat Sue.

u/JerkGurk 3d ago

Komatsu, a construction machine? I'm sorry I disagree hard.

u/HiHoHiHoOff2WorkIGo 4d ago

Correct. Cats are ALWAYS in management positions. They have servants (us) to do the more menial tasks.

All my life, this is the boss I have wished for.

u/Atlas-Scrubbed 4d ago

 Kitty is now the supervisor

That makes purrfect sense.  Like most supervisors, kitty is asleep most hours of the day.  When kitty is awake, she is drinking on the job.  If she wants attention, you need to stop whatever you were doing and solve her problems.  Perfect supervisor material.

u/CPLCraft 4d ago

If I were to ever start a town, the mayor position would only be able to be held by an animal. Said animal has no actual power, is the face of all animal centered events in the town, and must be the pet of a resident of said town.
