The Story Behind Cal, the Warehouse Cat Part 1 / myLot

United States

March 13, 2023 8:25am CST

It happened one day as we all happened to be in the warehouse. I was looking for a part to pull, the boss was packing a box, and my other co-worker was processing orders for shipping. It's a whole other story why we did not have a warehouse worker at the time. As I was heading back to the table to put the parts there, under the table I saw a little face pop up behind one of the wooden supports with ears. "Gary, there's a cat under the table!" ...to be continued.

The wooden support had ears? That's a bit unusual.

Yes, comma placement can be very important.

The wording of that was a bit...off. Kind of reminds me of the lesson that, "We want to eat Grandpa," means something entirely different than, "We want to eat, Grandpa." lol

Well, the one in the picture is Cal. The kitty that was under the table was not. The story continues.

@porwest cats are slowly taing over the world and enslaving the humans.

Thanks. He says thank you, and he also told me he knows it. Just like a cat, hey?

We figure he must have just wandered in when one of the dock doors was left open or something and then just found a place to hide until he decided to make an appearance.
