When it comes to real estate, a cat’s name doesn’t have to be on the lease for him to think the place belongs to him.

Nope, cats own whatever domain they choose to call their own. It doesn’t matter if it’s a small spot on the sofa at home or the whole shop down the road. If a feline decides it’s hers, then hers it is.

And shop cats are the masters of looking like they own place. These hard-working kitties take care of security and keep eyes on the merchandise all while managing employees and greeting customers. Couple that business with a cat’s take on owning their space and shop keepers don’t stand a chance at being in charge.

Check out these shop cats who think they own the place!
