People who never had a cat at home naively consider these creatures stupid and useless. However, those who have had at least once in their life to talk closely with cats will confidently confirm that they are not at all as stupid as they want to seem. Stuart Mack Daniel, a resident of the city of Talsi, located in Texas, was able to verify that cats are very intelligent creatures.
Little mice, big problems
Stuart Mack Daniel, the owner of GuRuStu marketing firm in Talsi, once had a big nuisance. The premises of his company’s office, located on the ground floor of the building, were attacked by hordes of arrogant mice. Petty pranksters gnawed at documents, ran around tables and, it seemed, were not afraid of anyone. Desperate to get rid of annoying and uninvited guests, Stuart decided to get a cat and went to a local shelter for homeless animals. The man chose a six-month-old tabby cat in the shelter and settled him in the office of his company.
New helpful worker, or cat life difficulties
The young cat quickly got used to the new place of residence and became the favorite of the entire small collective. For days on end, the cat strolled around the office slowly, ran around tables and cabinets, climbed onto computer keyboards and “helped” company employees send still unfinished emails. Sometimes, when he became completely bored, the cat still remembered his direct feline duties and caught some gnawing mouse. Catching mice is a tedious task, after which, as you know, any self-respecting cat should sleep. And he was sleeping. Favorite place to sleep was near the glass front door to the office. Here the fluffy worker spent most of the working day basking in the warm sun.
A strange situation and an unusual solution
Once, after coming to work after the weekend, office workers noticed something unusual. In front of the closed glass doors that led from the building, on the floor lay a lot of banknotes of various denominations, and a contented cat sat next to it. People were surprised that the debate about where the furry pet got so much money didn’t subside all day. In the evening, they found more money under the door, the next day the situation repeated again.
Office workers decided to find out where the money comes from, and began to closely monitor the behavior of the cat. As a result of the surveillance, the incredible was revealed. In the afternoon, the cat spent a lot of time basking in the sun in front of a glass door. People passing by, wanting to play with a cat, poked a banknote into the door slot, and the cat instantly grabbed it. It should be noted that the building is located in the area where a huge number of entertainment venues and pedestrian roads are located. During the day, many walking people walk past the office. Therefore, until the end of the working day, a lot of money was gained.
Unexpected denouement, or Where to invest wage money
The workers and the owner of the company thought for a long time what can be done with the money that the cat "earned", and finally decided to spend it on a good deed. Now all the money found near the door is transferred to the city shelter for homeless animals. And on the door of the marketing company posted an ad in which they ask all passing people to play with the cat. It also says that all the money received will go to charity.
After everyone found out about the cat’s love for paper money, he was given the nickname Cashnip (from the English cash - cash, catnip - catnip).The fame of the unusual cat quickly spread outside the city, and soon people began to send money to the company’s office for charity by mail or via the Internet. Cat Cashnip has become a local attraction and a day "earns" for charity about 30-40 dollars.
