A Japanese company hired 11 full-time office cats to reduce workplace stress, and it’s working.
Tokyo-based Qnote Inc. first adopted a cat in 2004 and has since grown its feline staff to 11 permanent office residents. Employees say the cats boost morale, encourage short breaks, and create a much more relaxed and pleasant work environment.
Each cat even has an official job title, such as “office clerk,” “manager,” or “auditor”, making them fully integrated into the company culture. The company loves cats so much that “cat lover” is now listed as a requirement for human job applicants.
To accommodate its furry employees, Qnote renovated the office with 12 cat toilets, climbing shelves, and scratch-resistant walls, allowing the cats to roam freely without causing damage. The result? Lower stress levels and stronger team bonding among staff.
A purr-fect workplace solution.

On this day in 1941, the aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal was torpedoed. The crew would later be awarded a medal for rescuing all six of Ark Royal's cats before the ship sank. One of the cats was the legendary Oscar, who has become known as "Unsinkable Sam" due of the apocryphal tale of him surviving three shipwrecks.

Shabbat Shalom 🕯️✨🕯️
This is my last Shabbat in the USA before I make Aliyah, and I have spent the entire morning smiling and crying.
I am leaving behind everything I have known. I have sold everything I owned, packed my life into three suitcases, and am setting out to follow HaShem, to become a servant in the land of my ancestors, walking in the footsteps of Avraham avinu.
There are so many emotions that come with this moment. Saying goodbye to family, friends, familiar places, and the life I have known is not easy. There is excitement, sadness, gratitude, and an overwhelming sense of awe at what lies ahead.
But above all, there is faith.
Over this past year, my Bitachon has been tested in ways I could never have imagined. I have had to learn what it truly means to trust HaShem, even when I could not see the way forward. And now, the moment has arrived when I must take that step of faith just as our ancestors did and walk towards the sea, trusting that HaShem will make a way where there seems to be no way.
As it is written (summarized)
Lech Lecha to the land that I will show you
(Bereishit 12:1)
And again
Stand firm and see the salvation of HaShem. HaShem will fight for you, and you shall remain silent
(Shemot 14:13–14)
Perhaps faith is not always about knowing what awaits us on the other side. Sometimes it is simply about having the courage to take the first step because we trust the One who is leading us.
I pray that HaShem blesses all of Israel with a beautiful, peaceful, and joyful Shabbat, filled with love, incredible food, meaningful company, and a deep closeness to Him.
May He grant us greater insight and understanding of His Torah on the deepest levels, and wisdom to walk in His ways. May His Torah be written upon all our hearts, and may He gather us together soon, in our days, for the sake of His great and holy Name.
May we merit to see the fulfilment of His promises, the restoration of His people, and the coming of that day when all Israel dwells in peace.
Next Shabbat, in Eretz Yisrael. ❤️🇮🇱
