Being a cat is not just about being cute or beautiful or mysterious. Cats actually have a lot of critically important jobs which us humans tend to take for granted.

We're the artists behind the creative studio Last Lemon, and after we posted a few illustrated cat jobs online, professional cats from around the world started letting us know a bit about their important daily duties and tasks.

You can also check out our previous works, where we tried to explain how to be a cat, explained cat moods, and taught you some life lessons from cats.

Not all box inspectors are cats, but all cats are box inspectors ;)

    I must disagree with this one. Cats are delicate beings,,and their whiskers are actually used a a sort of sensor to tell them if it's safe to proceed or not. I've seen my cat jump and land on an end table laden with Waterford crystal, and NEVER even touch the crystal, and land perfectly in the spot he choose!

    My dear old cat, Benjamin, left us on Friday night. Garf, his protege, spent this morning running frantically around the house, staring at the ceilings and meowing pitifully. He is currently sleeping it off.

    So sad to hear about your Benjamin. At least you have memories and lots of stories to tell. Hang in there.

    So very sorry for you and Garf. Benjamin was part of your family and you understand what happened to him, but it will take several days and perhaps weeks off and on until Garf accepts his buddy is gone. Hugs to you both.
