Ginger cat has been running a store for 9 years and refuses to take a day off

When you love what you do, it's not work. This ginger tabby has been working at this store in New York for 9 years and absolutely loves his job and customers... so much so he's never taken a day off!

Meet Bobo!

Bobo was just a teeny kitten needing a home when an employee of a mom and pop store in Chinatown, New York decided to take him in. The little guy felt right at home in the store, and 9 years later, he's running it.

A kind lawyer who has 4 cats of her own, also helped out by supplying food and taking Bobo to the vet for his checkups and shots.

"At the store, he likes to sit near the entrance and greet customers. He has his own scratcher lounge towards the front of the store and likes to sit there. He also likes to look out the window, a curious cat!" Annie Liao, an employee of the store, told Love Meow.

Annie started working at the store in 2014 and she's become Bobo's caregiver and his biggest fan.

"Bobo's personality is calm and friendly. He is the only cat in the store. He's the king of the store!"

Bobo has more experience working at the store than most employees there. They all can learn a thing or two from him.

Bobo takes his job very seriously. He greets customers with meows and shows them around. "He does a better job than me!" Annie said.

But even boss kitty needs a break sometimes.

Mr. Bobo has found his way into the jungle of bamboo and bowls.. Well let's hope the co-workers don't see him or else he's in BIIIIIIG trouble. 😂😳🙀 #sneakysneaky #howdidhegetoverthatledge #flexiblecat #catsusewhiskers #sunbathe #bambooforest #bowlsfordays #chinkyeyes #catslife #catsofinstagram #catstagram #catsagram #tabby #tabbycat #tabbycatsofinstagram #allaboutthatlife #nyc
