Last Updated: 2026/04/27, Today, there is a cute hot search on Weibo: "A stray cat in Shanghai works as a detective in a cafe to make a living." I thought it was a hot cat coffee, but when I clicked in, I found that I went to the coffee shop to apply for a job to catch a mouse as a door god, which was not the same type as cat coffee at all. According to the Youth Daily, the official Weibo in October

Today, there is a cute hot search on Weibo,"A stray cat in Shanghai makes a living as a detective in a cafe."

He thought it was a cat café that was riding on the popularity, but when he clicked on it, he realized that it was a coffee shop that applied to catch mice as a door god. It was not the same type as a cat café at all.

According to the Youth Daily's official microblog on Oct.25, the cute kitten named Ron, after training, changed from an unemployed vagrant to a "detective" in a coffee shop on Xinhua Road in Shanghai, specializing in catching mice. For a month and a half, this cat "detective" has been doing a good job, solving the rat problem for the coffee shop owner for five years.

The kitten, named Ron, is the first "inspector" to be bred under a working cat program initiated by an enthusiastic crowd whose job is to design graphics, vision and service, according to a message on Youth Shanghai, the official Weibo account of the Shanghai City Committee of the Communist Youth League of China.

The enthusiastic masses cooperated with stray cat rescue agencies to rescue stray cats together. However, because some cats are relatively old and have a low chance of being adopted, the Working Cat Project was launched to give cats a chance to work. These stray cats participating in the project will also undergo sterilization, immunization, weight reduction and training before they arrive on the block. They also serve as rodent control for restaurants and cafes.

Of course, these kittens are not simply banished back to the streets or put in stores. The project sponsor incarnates as a supervisor to teach the store staff how to shovel feces, feed them and accompany the stray cats to adapt to the new environment during the transition period.

In the comments under the official Weibo news of Youth Daily, many netizens expressed support for the project and let cats learn to be self-reliant. Some netizens said they wanted to send their kittens to learn something.

It can be said that such projects are still something new to the world. In recent years, the "cat cafe" craze has been blown from Japan, saying that it is a place for young people to relax, but in fact it is still a cat backyard with more drinks and desserts. A space of only 50 to 60 square meters had raised more than 20 cats, scrambling for a handful of cat litter trays. How could scientific feeding come from?

Originally, as a good partner of human beings, it has become a tool cat for gold. The happiness in front of you is money in the eyes of others. Once you can't do it anymore, let the cats go back to nature, whether they live or die. When you hold your cat and pluck it, have you ever thought about how many cat hairs are flying in the air? I guess not many people will care about it, after all, cats are so cute.

Some want to move the whole zoo into the cafe, mostly a kind of online red card point existence, it is better to find a proper cafe to order a cup of take-out coffee, go to the zoo while drinking.

But seriously, even cats are starting to work on their own to earn cat food. Why don't we, as humans, work harder?
