When it comes to pets, everyone has their favorite. But there’s just something about cats. Sure, they’re independent but also hilarious. With a kitty in the house, you never know what to expect. But then when you have a cat at work, things can get even more unpredictable and exciting.
You’ve heard of people having dogs in junkyards but what about cats that spend time inside of convenience and other types of stores? While that might sound a little strange but it’s not uncommon. It’s also not uncommon for them to get into all kinds of mischief. And if you need proof of that, just check out these 75 cats.
Not only is this cat taking a break while her owner is hard at work but she’s also not wearing a mask. Hey kitty, there’s a pandemic going on…make better decisions Ms. Attitude.
2. The coolest place in the store
It looks like this cat found a perfect place to nap. We’re hoping she’s just napping in a cool spot and not something dire.
Do you hate shopping alone? Well, here’s a novice idea. Find a store that lets you bring your furry friend along. She’ll even help you pick out her favorite treats.
Just in case its owner forgets to feed this kitty, no problem. He’s got it covered. He’ll even change his litter box if needed. Okay, that might be pushing it.
If you’re going to be a store cat, you might want to find a different place to take your naps. After all, not all shoppers pay attention to details. Just saying.
Just imagine the reaction from the person who walks by at the same time this cat decides to poke its head out. Let’s just hope the store owner has good liability insurance.
7. A surprise in every box
At this store, when customers buy a box of goods, they also get a free kitty. Not really but wouldn’t that be a great surprise?
8. Best screen washer ever
Why waste your money on products that don’t work when this guy does an impeccable job? After all, cats do have unique tongues that can pick up even the smallest things.
We get the feeling this kitty isn’t too happy that the store ran out of her favorite beverage. And by golly, she’s going to let the manager know about it.
This kitty loves shoes. And she helps her owner by using her tiny paws to show customers how different pairs fit. Okay, not really but she does help boost business with her cuteness.
If you walked into this store only to be greeted by this adorable cat, you’d probably want to buy every product on the shelf. This owner knows how cute his kitty is and he’s using it to his advantage.
This cat looks as though he’s guarding this case of beverages. Customers can choose anything else in the store but this one is all his. Let’s just hope it’s not beer. Have you ever seen a drunk kitty? We haven’t either and that’s not something we want to see.
…it looks like this cat has had one too many. If that’s not a beer belly, we don’t know what is.
This cat is working on her best Halloween stare. We’ll bet you’re thinking the same thing — not even close kitty. You’re much too cute to be scary.
By laying on the goods, this cat helps draw the customer’s attention. That’s an interesting sales tactic.
16. What’s up with cats and beer?
This cat is trying hard to get to its favorite type of beer. And from the looks of it, he’s not happy about failing. You’d think the store owner would give the guy a helping hand or something.
What a statement. Either this cat’s previous owner left her to die and the story made the front-page news or she simply found a comfortable place to nap. Surely, it’s the latter.
This has to be every cat’s worst nightmare…working in a store that sells fish. Let’s hope the owner has a good system for tracking the number sold.
Even on his tippy toes, this cat isn’t tall enough to reach all that yummy food. This seems a little cruel to us.
As a cat lover, you know this phrase all too well. It doesn’t matter the type or size of the box. If a kitty can fit, it’ll sit in it. Of course, cats will sit in boxes even if they don’t fit…here’s proof.
Instead of beer, this cat has a more refined taste. So, she’s trying to point her favorite beverage out to customers.
If you have a cat, then you know how much these animals love boxes. After a big delivery, we bet this kitty has a blast. Then he sleeps for hours out of pure exhaustion…moving from one box to another.
23. Free hugs for everyone
Every customer who enters this store is entitled to one free hug. What do you want to bet this store stays super busy? Now, this is how to market your business.
24. Taking care of the customers
This cat is probably a manger and a good one at that. Instead of just sitting in the back office, she prefers to be on the frontline making sure the customers are satisfied.
25. The picture of overindulgence
Most people look just like this cat after eating too many chips. Give him a couple of hours to rest and he’ll be ready to go again. His goal, show customers how good the treats are.
That gorgeous coat and stylish tie show this cat means business. He greets every customer personally. We want to shop at this store.
This store has the best security ever. To most people, this looks like a simple cat. But if you look closely at those eyes, you can tell he’s watching everyone’s moves. Sneaky.
We can’t tell if the cat is making the jewelry more enticing to buyers or if it’s the other way around. Regardless, this kitty is gorgeous and she knows it.
29. “I’ve got a bug in the throat”
Either that or this cat just sampled something nasty. Then again, it could just be a big kitty yawn. Use your manners so you don’t offend customers.
Okay, so this cat decided to sleep all curled up in new throw blankets. Come on guys, a little kitty hair while snuggling on the couch isn’t going to hurt the customer.
So far, most cats don’t seem too overly protective of their beer. But this one is different. That humped back says “Stay away — it’s mine — all mine.” And we don’t think he’s kidding.
Nope…just a cat checking out the goods. That is until the store closes and then it becomes sampling time.
33. Wrong aisle Mr. Kitty
This sweet thing was simply trying to help customers choose a quality cat food. But since cats can’t read, or decipher photos as it seems, he kind of missed the mark. This is the dog food section…the cat aisle is the next one over.
Who knew cats were this protective of eggs? Maybe she was hoping a chicken would appear.
35. Um…you’re kind of in the way
Okay, so this cat found a comfortable place to nap but it’s not helping business. How are customers supposed to see what’s inside the display case? This kitty doesn’t know and he doesn’t care.
36. Proper social distancing
While this cat photo might not be hilarious, it’s still cute. She’s doing a PSA to show everyone in the store how the whole social distancing thing works. Great job kitty.
No, not the kind in a wedding but the kind you see in a store. Don’t all places that sell flowers have a cat that’s eager to help? They should.
Here’s another cat that might want to rethink where he chooses to nap. A skillet is bad enough but an entire section for barbecue accessories…that’s downright frightening.
This cat, named Mr. Shadow, might not work inside the store but he loves to visit. He was especially happy when he found out the owner extended the hours. But looking at him wait for the doors to open is pretty funny.
It looks as though this cat is showing a customer where to find a specific product. Just look at the confidence and pep in his step. Perhaps he’s worked there for a long time.
When customers need something that’s on a top shelf, this store owner has a perfect solution. Shoot…these cats probably don’t even need a ladder.
Due to the massive shortage of toilet paper, a lot of people have had to turn to paper towels. But this cat wants to make sure no one takes more than their two-roll limit.
…and what better place to do it than in front of Corona beer. She’s not going to let anything get her down…even a pandemic.
44. “What are you looking at”
Can’t a cat get some privacy? Okay, so this kitty is in a public place but you don’t have to stare. Oh, if looks could kill.
This cat isn’t worried about anything. She’s too busy listening to some fine tunes…maybe smooth Jazz or a classical piece. Whatever it is, she’s getting…sleepy.
Unable to reach the food behind the glass, this cat isn’t very happy. More like he’s really mad. If I couldn’t get chicken cutlets, I’d probably feel the same way but I’m not sure I’d bare my teeth in protest.
Either this cat woke up on the wrong side of the bed or he thinks the customer might have shoplifted something. Knowing cats, it’s probably the first option.
This store may be open with a welcome mat and all but by the look on that cat’s face, you might want to think twice before going inside. Maybe the owner should put Mr. Grumpy Face in the back during business hours.
Cats are great at a hiding and fitting into tight spaces. This one blends in so perfectly with the merchandise, she’s kind of hard to spot at first.
One cat ended up in the dog food aisle while this one’s lounging in the bird section. As we mentioned before, the cat aisle is one over. Keep trying.
This kind of makes you wonder if this cat can read. Surely, this wasn’t happenstance. We all know kitties are super smart.
Show a cat a lap and it’ll sit there all day…or at least until it changes its mind. This Santa might be for the kids visiting the store but in this cat’s mind, the guy in the red suit is all his.
Of all the hundreds of places this kitty could’ve napped, he found a perfect spot. Does it get any better than this? Now, this is funny.
Probably every cat owner seeing this photo is holding their breath. We can just see it happening…that tiny paw pushing one bottle at a time off the shelf. Don’t do it kitty.
After flipping through CDs trying to find a specific one, this cat gave up. So, she decided to nap right between Jazz and Blues. At least she has excellent taste in music.
What better way to keep your neck warm on a cold day than with a thick, furry scarf…um, we mean cat. Maybe this is some kind of new fashion statement.
We don’t care just how cute this cat is. That look is enough to scare the bejeebies out of anyone. Imagine putting your purse or coat in the cart only to have this face staring back at you?
Stores today are using mannequins that look so life like. Just take this one for example. It appears to be a real cat…oh wait, it is a real cat.
Those mega discount stores can’t hold a candle to this small mom and mom shop. With greeters like these, who would want to shop anywhere else?
In searching for a cool place to nap, this cat found an idyllic spot. Where else? The Frosty Paws ice cream container, of course.
These cats just wanted to show customers how well this storage product worked. And they succeeded. The store owner must feel so proud.
Have you ever had the feeling that someone was following you? Yep, that’s what this guy is doing. Every time a customer turns to look, he stops dead in his tracks…and just stares.
We can see how someone might mistakenly bring a cat home instead of a loaf of bread. They’re both about the same size and they’re fluffy and soft.
Who cares that this vintage sofa is for sale? Not this cat. She claimed it and that’s the end of the story.
For customers visiting one particular store, they get a free massage with every purchase. And it’s all thanks to a big white kitty that loves kneading people’s backs.
One cat did her best to help the store owner catch up on paperwork but that didn’t last long. After all, she had a busy day, keeping rodents away, napping, greeting customers, napping, following people around, napping.
We’d be worn out too if we spent all day chasing an uncatchable red bird . Maybe he’ll try again later.
…just as soon as I take a quick nap.” After just 10 minutes of work, this kitty needs to rejuvenate.
Do you want the short or long answer? Okay, here they are respectively. Because she can and because taking a nap is what she feels like doing.
You can find cats in all kinds of stores…clothing, jewelry, convenience furnture, and more. But this kitty spends his time in a workshop. Sorry big guy but this is hysterical.
As the sign says, “Staff Only.” It seems this cat didn’t have the right credentials so now, he’s pouting. He’s actually a greeter at a museum in Scotland but we like our version of the story better.
“Hey boss…did you know there’s a monster in the store? Can you please make it leave?” We’re with you cats…it’s scaring us, too.
All cats love scratching under their chins on just about anything they can find. This kitty decided she also wanted to smell good. So, she chose a basket of bath bombs. But just throw one in her bath water and her opinion of them will change dramatically.
Without any cardboard boxes around, this cat chose to lay in the store’s bin used for magazines and newspapers. Let’s just hope he doesn’t mistake it at some point for a litter pan. That could get ugly…fast.
Even with customers milling about the store, this adorable cat can barely keep his eyes open. It must’ve been a long day.
