Cuddly cat comes in everyday to help motivate gym members (Gallery)

This gym cat is here for the gym rats.

A tired and unmotivated woman willed herself to the gym and when she left, she found a new energy burn inside of her. But it wasn’t just exercise that made her feel better. In fact, she says she owes it all to a cat!

“So I have had a really hard week already, and decided to go to the gym even though I really just wanted to sleep as soon as I got off work. Well this guy came in my gym last night and made my whole week better, and nearly brought me to tears,” battlesquid91 shared on imgur. She loves animals but she recently moved and she can't have pets.

Meet LB the gym cat!

“Everyone that works out here has been super cool about LB. We try to make sure he gets pet regularly between reps and that he is not in the way (but he's lazy as crap so there aren't very many worries about him getting under anyone when we are lifting).”

He’s now the gym’s mascot and can come and go as much as he pleases. No membership required.

“He came around last week and we thought he wandered off this weekend but he came in like bat out of hell yesterday mid workout. I couldn't get a picture of him yesterday because he wanted everyone to know he was there and that they owed him cuddles (he's very demanding). Today he was super chill and hung out beside me for my warm up for about 15 minutes, and then wandered off to find some mice.”
