I remember seeing a friendly cat upon my first and only (so far) visit to Brooklyn Brewery. I made a joke about the employment status of said feline but maybe it had the last laugh (or purr).
Brad Thomas Parsons has compiled biographies of cats who have a job to do. Patrol distilleries and breweries and make sure the mice stay out. His book is Distillery Cats and it looks like a fun look at both the cat and the cat’s place of employment.
