Meet Pearl: The Cat Who Guards Watermelons for a Living

Pearl the cat has been guarding watermelons for 9 years. He motivates his human coworkers by looking both angry and adorable while sitting in the shade. Behind that intimidating front, there's a cat who brings snacks for his team.

The Feline Supervisor of the Watermelon Farm

Pearl the cat has an important job. He makes sure that everyone keeps their paws off his watermelons. As the site supervisor and guard for a large watermelon farm, Pearl never takes a day off.

Nine Years of Watermelon Experience

With nearly 9 years in the watermelon industry, Pearl has become highly experienced. He's such a good leader that he can motivate the rest of the farm's employees just by sitting in a chair in the shade looking both angry and adorable.

Keeping the Team Happy

Pearl knows how to keep his coworkers happy. He sometimes goes to the store in the middle of the workday just to bring the team back a snack. This kind of thoughtfulness makes Pearl not just a boss, but a friend to the workers.

Master of Delegation

As a true leader, Pearl rarely has to do any work himself. He's a master of delegation. But because he knows that nobody can sit directly next to watermelons as well as he can, he takes charge of guarding the farm supply. Pearl makes sure nobody walks off with a melon without paying.

Occasional Office Naps

On rare occasions, Pearl's coworkers catch him taking a nap in the office during the day. They give him a pass because they know that firing him would throw the farm's operations into chaos. Nobody wants to see what would happen to watermelon production without Pearl in charge.

Work-Life Balance

To balance out his long hours of sitting in his favorite chair, Pearl does take time for himself. His favorite hobby is fishing. This helps him stay refreshed and ready for another day of watermelon guarding.

The Real Pearl

While Pearl puts on an intimidating front at work, his coworkers say he's actually really nice when you get to know him. Behind that serious supervisor face is a sweet cat who cares about his team and his watermelons.
