Meet the Capitol Cat
In the bustling halls of the Nebraska State Capitol, amidst the debates and bill introductions, there's a furry diplomat bringing bipartisan joy: Cameron the Capitol Cat. This striped tabby has made the state house his second home, charming lawmakers and lobbyists alike with his purrs and playful antics, regardless of their political leanings.
Since adopting Cameron in 2015, his guardian, Diana McGinnis, has witnessed his rise to stardom. The charismatic feline is often spotted lounging near the entrances, eagerly awaiting his daily dose of attention and treats. Despite an inadvertent "catnapping" incident where Cameron was mistaken for a stray, his presence continues to unite politicians in shared affection. Cameron offers a much-needed break from the rigors of political life and proves that even in the world of politics, everyone can agree on the power of a purring friend.

Winery Cats
Ever wonder why wineries often have a resident cat roaming around? Turns out, these fluffy felines are more than just adorable companions – they help keep the vineyard in top shape. With their ninja-like hunting skills, winery cats help control rodents like gophers that can destroy vine roots by their burrowing.
Having a cat on patrol can mean less reliance on pesticides, making winemaking more eco-friendly. But it's not just about pest control- winery cats also add a special charm to the vineyard atmosphere. Visitors love spotting them lounging among the barrels or chasing butterflies in the sunshine. So, next time you enjoy a glass of wine, raise a toast to these furry guardians – they're the unsung heroes of the vineyard!

Cats at Work Lower Stress
In the ever-evolving landscape of modern workplaces, the idea of bringing your furry friend to work isn't just a whimsical dream—it's becoming a reality for many pet-loving employees. While dogs often steal the spotlight in pet-friendly offices, cats are also making their mark, providing their brand of stress relief and productivity boosts.
From tech giants like Google and Amazon to innovative Japanese firms like Ferray and Pasona Group, cats are finding their place among the cubicles and conference rooms, offering a purr-fect blend of companionship and relaxation. Whether they're lounging on desks or exploring office nooks, these feline co-workers are proving that a little whiskered charm goes a long way in boosting morale and fostering a positive work environment.
But as with any purr-fect plan, there are potential pitfalls, from allergies and phobias to the occasional keyboard mishap courtesy of a curious kitty. While some may view having cats in the workplace as a recipe for distraction and chaos, for many, the presence of a purring coworker provides a much-needed dose of stress relief and companionship to make those long days at the office just a little more bearable. Despite the debates, one thing remains clear: for many, the benefits of having cats around the office far outweigh the occasional scratched chair or misplaced memo.
