Japan company has cat ‘staff’ – office clerk, auditor, even ‘chaircat’

After adopting its first cat, Futaba, from a sushi restaurant in 2004, Qnote, a Japanese tech company, simply could not resist “hiring” more felines. It now boasts 10 cat “employees” that live around the office – most of them full-time – and the company has renovated its office to accommodate its feline friends. The office has also become the ideal workplace for the 32 humans who enjoy the companionship offered by the cats.
