Felix used to be an everyday cat, just working her day job keeping mice at bay at Huddersfield Station in West Yorkshire, England.
She was brought in by First TransPennine Express at only nine weeks old to help take control of the pests in the station and she really grew into the role.
After five years of hard work she finally got the promotion she deserves.
No longer is she a simple mouse catcher - she is now Senior Pest Controller, complete with the adorable visibility jacket, name tag and authority that goes with the title.
Let's hope she uses her newly appointed power benevolently!
Ping
Second PING!
Thats just cute!
Thanks for posting.
I sincerely hope she doesn’t get hold of a mouse exposed to rodenticides. She is much too adorable for such trouble!
There should be a separate news article written about the correct use of the word "everyday" in this news article.
That's very rare these days.
merit system still alive in Socialist UK! (or is this just another Affirmative Action promotion maybe, or?)
I can’t help but notice her position strategically placed on the keyboard. Just like my cat, except that my cat is useless and has never caught a mouse in her life.
Go Felix! Great job!
She is a cute kitty. Im sure she deserves the promotion.
Awwww!!
Will the bright-colored vest possibly alert pests to the cat?
If she’s been doing this for five years then I think she’ll be fine for another five.
Yeah, well let’s see her go to Orlando and take on Mickey.
That mouse is like five feet tall.
That cat would be sitting at the pub in EPCOT eating fish and chips and Mickey would walk in and all you’d see is a black flash headed out the door trying to buy a ticket back to the White Cliffs of Dover.
Felix is described as a female, so I’m assuming it’s a male cat who self-identifies as a female. So, yeah, AA hire, for sure.
Nice looking moggy, BTW. One of the better civil servants they could hope for.

Correct use of the word “everyday” (adj.) in a _British_ newspaper.
There seems to be a trend in written American English to run words together:
bestfriend
everyday (not the adjective)
Whitehouse
alot
infact
and my favorite
eachother
Nice looking cat!
Just her presence will keep a lot of the mice and rats away.
When my brother had his 3/4 wolf, the coyotes stayed WELL away, as did the mice, squirrels, rats, etc.
The only critter that would come near was a 35-40 lb. mountain lion (got pics of it, just not in a position to post), but even it would not get too close...
