A stray cat wandered into a shop and, after finishing its meal, did not leave immediately. Instead, it sat at the counter, attracting customers. Do you believe that cats can truly repay kindness? Recently, a netizen from Chongqing, China, shared a story about a stray cat they regularly feed, which transformed into a "lucky cat" after eating and began to guard the shop. Remarkably, this behavior has positively impacted the shop's business.
The video captured during dinner time around 5 PM shows the shop nearly empty. The familiar stray orange cat approached the owner for food. After eating, the cat surprisingly jumped onto the counter and sat still, resembling a traditional lucky cat statue. Intriguingly, once the cat began its "shift," customers started pouring in, prompting the owner to remark on the cat's remarkable spirit.
Netizens commented on the cat's behavior, calling it clever and considerate. Instead of leaving right after eating, it remembered to assist the owner who feeds it by welcoming customers with phrases like:
- "This lucky cat is actually a real cat."
- "Refusing to work but cannot escape working because of my nature."
- "Cat: If you don’t buy a lucky cat to place here, I’ll just have to do it myself."
- "Let’s pay it with some treats."
Sometimes, this cat named Doudou stays with the staff until closing time. The shop owner mentioned that they never specifically trained Doudou to sit there and greet customers, so they were pleasantly surprised by its behavior. Doudou is very responsible; sometimes when customers linger late, it remains at its post to help out—truly a thoughtful feline.
