Working CatsThis sub-section looks at more cats who work for their living. They are not so numerous as once they were, when probably the majority of theatres, hotels, shops, factories, post offices and all kinds of other commercial establishment had their resident mouser, but there are still cats to be found in many working environments, from railway stations to pubs. For some working cats we already have separate entries in the main Featuring Felines section, grouped under various headings — those in libraries, churches, museums and clinics, as well as those who worked with land, sea or air forces during wartime. Other working cats can be found in our Famous Felines section, as for one reason or another they became more well known than the average feline employee. There we have included Towser, Barley and others who worked in Scotch whisky distilleries — Towser holds the world record for the number of mice caught in a lifetime. There are Simon, probably the most noted working ship's cat of modern times; Colin's, who lived at a New Zealand tanker terminal; various cats who worked at Britain's Home Office and Number 10 Downing Street; and Dewey Readmore Books, formerly of Spencer Library, Iowa. Here we'll record many other cats, both past and present, from numerous different working environments. |

Our featured feline at the head of the page is Socks, pictured in 2003 surveying his 'estate' in the early morning sunshine. Affectionately known as Soxy, he blossomed from a thin and hungry stray into a substantial and handsome cat who loved life and company, and his gentle ways endeared him to many friends. He's now no longer with us, but you can read more from his human companion here.
