Cat from Oudergem {Belgium}

Meet Minus, the feline manager of the locksmith store Henrard Serrures in Oudergem, Belgium.

Her owner adopted Minus four years ago, and she's been at Henrard Serrures ever since. "A friend of mine gave away a clowder of kittens, and I picked out the best one," he says. "Now the entire neighborhood is crazy about Minus. She visits the other stores in Oudergem and even sleeps in our neighbors' beds. They all love her."

Each time I enter Henrard Serrures, Minus is curled up on a chair in the customers' area. When she notices that I am in for a cuddle, she follows me around. She sometimes jumps on the racks to make sure everything is in order.

"Can I get a double of the cat as well?" I asked when I needed a double for my mom's keys. "Oh, no, Minus is way too precious for that," the shop assistant answered.

Apparently, Minus is almost always around, so you can go greet her too if you want.

Address: Henrard Serrures, Chaussée de Wavre 1337, 1160 Oudergem, Belgium.
