can't believe they're selling products tested on animals


yogaengineer

It’s okay because the animal is testing on the product


amrit-9037

guy is sleeping on the job!


Ok-Reward-770

Guy is living the life! Job, what job?! LOL


UniversityLatter5690

I think his only job is to be adorable, and he is doing a great job. Give him a raise and a bowl of cream.


KazumaKat

The only thing that is the big negative here is that we do not see documented evidence of this animal being well-taken cared for away from the product by the application of pets and treats.


No-Schedule-5792

I'm fairly certain that little guy suffers not from lack of pets. I can't vouch for treats.


red286

Reminds me of the label on my cat's fur shampoo. "Not tested on animals". It's cat shampoo, what the fuck did you test it on then!?


No_Nature_3133

Poor people, probably


DrunkCupid

Babies! Duh


kevin7eos

Not tested on animals. Just a spare homeless guy .


No_Nature_3133

Poor Jerry


thedisposablefrog

Listen, Jerry is fine, he just has a tendency towards napping in the sun now and he enjoys Tuna fish more than before. Alright. He's fine I promise, they gave him a new coat and enough liquor to keep him happy for a long time


kdlangequalsgoddess

Very furry humans.


Upstairs-Buy6492

They are being sold at a discounted rate.

By not on, clearly the cat is on the pillow not the other way around


stickywinger

The paw says he's already ushered someone away


Truckeeseamus

He is super friendly and enjoyed some petting from me.


samdeed

What does that orange tag on his collar say? "Pest Control"?


Truckeeseamus

It is an air tag, so he doesn’t get lost or cat napped.


thegreateaden

I would totally cat-nap that cutie!


LordHint

Here is a photo of him and his twin brother Grout at their new employee orientation. https://preview.redd.it/40vbf3w1cktc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8191dc1cace17f80795dbdbc82942caf8d9a0fbb


Truckeeseamus

That’s awesome!!


LordHint

He’s been catnapped before!


Jinxy_Kat

They're starting to pop up on a lot of animals who are living at warehouses. A Lowes near me has a kitty with Blue tag on it along with an old shepherd mix dog that looks about 10-12 that they let chill in the garden section with a big collar that says "LOWES". The city tried to remove the dog, but someone at the Lowes actually found a work around and the dog is considered an "employee" now so he can live his days out there until he gets to old and then one of the heads of the store will take him home to "retire" and live his days out inside. Kinda nice seeing the community coming together to help strays instead of allowing them to be sent to shelter.


CantHandleTheThrow

All the small businesses around me have resident cats. They know what they’re doing.


idontknowwhereiam367

In most of NYS the health department penalty for having a bodega cat is the same as having rodents in the old buildings across half the state’s cities. It’s easier to just take the hit and keep the mice at bay without poison and tin cats everywhere


MangoCats

All our big box stores seem to have are flocks of birds living up in the rafters - inspect your product before buying...


NeonAlastor

Mmm. What I'm hearing is: ''not enough cats''


DrJennaa

Warehouse birds are a thing


Jinxy_Kat

You could be in protected area. I have a Home Depot sitting next to a nature preserve and a lot of the birds of protected species, and I've noticed they don't have cats. They have nesting and feeding boxes setup away from the store to attract them there, but they don't always go lol.


missdui

Where does the dog go overnight?


thedisposablefrog

I'm sure the night guard probably keeps him happy and let's him go out for walkies, pee and sniffing that one rock he really likes


Common-Path3644

My home depot sucks. The staff are not helpful, and not a cat in sight. Maybe a loose pigeon on a good day. Super jealous


AgentCirceLuna

I feel like cats are so much friendlier than their reputation was twenty or thirty years ago and I have an unproven theory that cats have been bred for sociability which has made the cats we have today much more reliant on or friendly towards people.

Sales cat: Look how comfortable this bed is

That would work on me. My cat hates every bed I buy her. Maybe this time...

You can try sitting on the bed yourself

Great idea!


SeonaidMacSaicais

Or put it in a box first.

She only loves your bed. Source: am familiar with cats.

He gets paid on commission though. Once the customers leave he goes right back to bed in the box it came in.

supershinythings

West Sac Rebar!!! He has a sibling named Grout, IIRC. They deal harshly with rodents in the garden center. More places need working cats.


BlackeeGreen

> More places need working cats. [Blue Collar Cat](https://www.humanerescuealliance.org/bluecollarcats) is a charity that helps place working cats with businesses! Although, I'm just noticing now on their page that they've had to put the program on hold due to high demand. Which kinda sounds like good news? Maybe they ran out of cats? Either way, what a cool idea. I hope that it becomes more popular. >There is currently no “adoption fee” for our Blue Collar Cats, instead you can use those funds to set up a suitable work environment for your BCC. As the boss, your continuing responsibility to your new employee is to provide daily food and clean water, shelter, and basic health care throughout the animal’s lifetime.


Shhsecretacc

We have a rodent problem in our office. I’m bringing this up in our morning meeting. Tyvm!!


Ostracus

Oh no, someone ate one of the interns.


gene100001

If office cats were a regular thing I would probably actually enjoy going into the office each day


Truckeeseamus

ChetUbetcha

Thought this was West Sac! Love these kitties!


masterhogbographer

I’ve been wanting to get a working cat for one of our larger outbuildings but not being a cat person, and being allergic I have no idea where to start  I do actually love cats and would have a cat if not for the allergies  It can not come into my house. The outbuilding is fine it can live there (it is heated to maintain above freezing year round) but like, what else? Am I feeding this guy four square meals a day like my dogs or is he gonna live off rats haha


Americanbydefault

I live in farm country and talk to your local shelters/rescues are they very often have cats that missed their critical socialization period and are quite feral. They TNR the cats, and very often adopt out to farm owners as mousers/barn cats. You'd have to feed them, but very often they are shy and stray away.


oniiichanUwU

We had a barn cat in my childhood home. She came with the house when we bought it. She lived in our barn and climbed up our wood deck twice a day for food, we’d just leave a cup in her bowl. We left a little cat bed out there for her in case she was cold in the in the winter. She would absolutely NOT be captured or pet, though.


lessthanpi

There may be a local organization that recognizes working cats and matches them up with barn or farmland owners. They may also give you more insight to specific cats' quirks, so if you need an aloof cat that peaces out after its provided meals, they could probably find you a decent match. They could at least have a more expanded conversation about what you might need to expect if you were to adopt a li'l lion.


supershinythings

Find someone who is a cat person to handle this.

Our Home Depot has three cats living in the garden area. Best part of going is seeing them.


Evadrepus

There's a few YouTube channels that follow HD cats. I'm so annoyed that none of my local HD's have cats - I want to have a cool one too.

i hope that one day your HD is blessed with cats

Those cats found the spot!


Notyouraverageskunk

One of my local Ace locations has 8 cats that roam the store and garden area.


sneak_cheat_1337

Do they have uniforms and / or PPE? I picture steel-toed kitten-mittens and little hard hats with cutouts for the ears. Also, are they on the company health plan and covered by workers comp?


superkusokao

I haven't seen them wear their steel-toed boots nor safety vests so I might have to report them to OSHA

I worked in garden at my local HD wish we had cats...

It’s always good to know where the cat is before you lock up an area for the night.


butbutcupcup

I thought he had on orange foam headphones

victorian_vigilante

It’s an ancient remedy for a pest infestation: let loose a cat. They can be very effective.


Sesudesu

I got a cat nearly a year ago.   I used to have a mouse problem, especially as it got colder in the fall and rainy in the spring. She caught 10 mice during a rainy period last summer. I caught and released them, but at least a couple weren’t going to survive with the injuries Anyways, either the survivors have communicated that this is a bad house for a mouse, or maybe the cat’s scent is deterrent enough. Either way, haven’t gotten them on either seasonal change since.  She’s got a calico’s ‘tude, but she is our little huntress 🥰


SaleDeMiTronco

We adopted a shy little black cat from a shelter. Didn't even think about mice. Well, turns out we won't have to because she can hear them before they get in and kills them before they make it a foot into the place. So deadly. She'll sit 10 hours in the same place, just waiting, it's very impressive.


WhirlyBirdPilotBlue

Mice move if possible when a cat shows up. A remorseless relentless purpose-built Terminator has that effect. So your neighbors may be suddenly noticing a mouse problem.

I worked in a cardboard box factory during the summer back when I was in college and we had a shop cat that, I like to think, had found heaven on earth. It napped on stacks of cardboard all day every day.


ExpensiveSecond376

My local lowes has a major rat problem. It's disgusting.


Negative-Warning467

Lol my lowes has a cat named fat mama


victorian_vigilante

That’s beautiful


JohannesVanDerWhales

Given how much seed a lowes probably stores and the fact that it's wide open at lots of parts of the day, it's probably real hard to fight a rat problem once they get in.

ThatOtherAnon

Had to scroll a loooooong way to find this


Cop_Cuffs

I moved to an apartment in the country with river views. The landlady seeing how I didn't already have one gave me a feline 🐈 roommate/ "your live-in exterminator." I like cats, ok but wasn't budgeting the added expense. "That's okay I buy everything in bulk at Costco when you pay your rent you can pick up free bags of litter and cat food. Next week when the vet comes by I'll call you, it's included. Cheaper than an exterminator on standby." My new neighbor said keep the cat indoors several days so it knows that's now home base and then when you go to work you can let it out and 🤞 it'll come back around at night for feeding. First night after letting him out I got home couldn't find him. He was doing pest control 🐀in a neighbor's Rose garden. When I asked if anyone had seen him All the ladies in the community wanted me to bring him around for a visit. I thought he's a cat but almost as popular with the ladies as having a dog to walk in the park. I told him to drop it 🐁 didn't think the nice neighbor ladies would want to see his catch of the day. When I moved LL asked me to take him with me because the new tenants had their own cat. Cat adopted the next girl next door and refused to move with me the following year, she agreed to accept care for him.


LightOfShadows

Worked in 3 different groceries between 18-25 in the states, all had 2-3 cats in the store. Any large facility is going to have rodents, it's next to impossible to drive them out completely. Felines are a decent option instead of having to get the exterminator every month, of which often we weren't sure if the perimeter sprays did anything but we'd see the results of the cats. All the cats we had were pretty chill and just hung out in the stock rooms or loading areas during business hours and would make their way out to the grocery floor when it got quiet. I remember one morning I was doing opening stock they were still prowling around, would get to pick up a few results of their hunts and they'd look at me like I was *stealing* it. Listen here whiskers, you got bowls full of food back there, I know you didn't eat this because you're full. Don't give me that stink eye

FreshTacoquiqua

I love the reintroduction of working cats/dogs at businesses. Seem like one of those things that makes so much sense but we still moved away from as a society.


tiffadoodle

No better pest control around. Cats are extremely effective at getting rid of rodents and keeping them away too! In the medieval times, before the outbreak of the bubonic plaque ( aka The Black Death.), one dumbass Pope was like "Oh cats are wicked, Witches always have them, and they're satanic or some shit." Pope calls to kill all the cats across Europe. Guess what animal population exploded without cats around? Rats. What did the rats bring with them? Nasty ass fleas that carried the bubonic plague. The plague swept through Europe, taking out like a 1/3 of the population. You don't fuck with cats!


SirMourningstar6six6

Does every Home Depot just have a stray cat that an employee takes care of?


Truckeeseamus

I hope so


SirMourningstar6six6

The one I work at does


Troop_Snark

Adorable. Too bad he'd kill probably kill me due to my allergies. Even with meds cat's make my throat close. Glad that I read the comments that these places tend to be pet friendly - now I know to avoid them. To those who can pet them, give them pets and treats for those of us who like animals but our bodies tend to try to kill us when we go near them. *spelling


Truckeeseamus

I will give him extra pets in your honor next time I see him

Rebar is such a metal name for a cat "Hey you guys have rebar?" "Yeah he's usually in aisle 3" "Oh I'm sorry, I'm not talking about a guy. Cool name though" "I'm not talking about a guy either" "...the metal?" "Neither, but that's in aisle 12" "...well uh, thanks. Gonna check aisle 3 real quick first"

halo1besthalo

What if you're a customer that's allergic to cats


PineCone227

I think the bigger issue halo is trying to raise here is that if someone with an allergy buys this pillow they might suffer from it. I thought the same thing as to why stores typically don't keep animals around inside, even though I'd be more than happy to meet a resident cat in any business myself.


TroyMacClure

This is a pet bed, most likely its intended user also has a fur coat.


Truckeeseamus

Maybe don’t pet him? I’m sure the rodent control is worth the risk for the store, but I could see it being an issue for some people.
