Stray Cat Becomes Official Security Cat at Manila Corporate Center
From Parking Lot to Professional: A Cat's Journey
A cat named Conan accidentally landed both a job and a new home after being found in a parking lot in the Philippines. Now, he serves as the official security cat at the worldwide corporate center in Manila. His story is even more special because he helped his human coworkers through a difficult time of loss.
The Legacy of Mingming
Before Conan, the position was held by a beloved security cat named Mingming. Mingming was the pride and joy of the building. He made his coworkers smile and provided companionship during long security shifts that often felt lonely.
Sadly, Mingming passed away last year due to an illness. His human coworkers were heartbroken by the loss of their furry friend.
A Striking Coincidence
Sometime after Mingming's passing, one of the building's housekeepers made an amazing discovery. A malnourished kitten was crying in the parking lot - and he looked very similar to Mingming. To the staff, this felt like it was meant to be.
The kind housekeeper took action and nursed the small kitten back to health. When he was strong enough, the staff brought him on board as a trainee for the security cat position. They even passed down Mingming's uniform to him. The new cat was named Conan.
Carrying on the Tradition
Conan has now been on the job for over a year. What's remarkable is how he behaves so similarly to Mingming. He even chooses the same spots for his catnaps!
His coworkers say that Conan is carrying on Mingming's legacy perfectly. He has made the whole workplace feel like home again after their loss.
A Familiar Presence
When Conan isn't helping the guards with their rounds, he can usually be found at his favorite spot - greeting people from a table at the entrance. This is the exact same place where Mingming always stood guard.
Conan's story shows how animals can bring comfort and joy to workplaces. From a hungry stray in a parking lot to a valued team member, Conan has found his forever home while helping heal the hearts of those who missed Mingming.
