Office cat hustles money from passersby and donates it to charity

Meet Sir Whines-A-Lot, a tabby cat who lives in an office in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

He is like your other feline friends. He entertains his humans by walking on their keyboards, helping them send emails (though they are not ready to be sent yet), and purring his way around the office during break time.

But what his humans didn’t know is that Sir Whine-A-Lot is a freelance hustler at night.

Yep, you read that right. This adorable tabby cat isn’t just one lazy slob; he sure knows how to earn his keep. His humans noticed that there were several dollar bills at the door of the office one morning. They didn’t know how it got there and they decided to find out.

Turns out Sir Whines-A-Lot earns his dollar by playing with strangers who want to pet him by the office door. He playfully bats every dollar they slide through the gap in the door and then eventually rips it from their hands!

The strangest thing has been happening at the office on weekends. When we show up on Saturday mornings and sometimes even on Sunday afternoons, we find a couple dollars on the floor near the door. Now we knew no one was paying their invoice in singles, but we just couldn't figure it out. Well at least not until we decided to test a theory on our little #CashnipKitty. Apparently he's quite the hustler, playing all the late night partiers traveling by foot on 3rd, Friday and Saturday nights.

Mary & Jamie Oldaker Visit Cashnip Kitty

When the legendary Jamie Oldaker and his wife Mary B Oldaker stop by, you don't just PUSSYFOOT AROUND; you put on a show! Yesterday was Jamie's birthday and stopping by to make a donation was part of the plan. Friends, this couple is the cat's meow! They and many of the merchants in the East Village District Tulsa raised $15,000 for The Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless at their MOJO Fest 2017. The annual festival celebrates the couples anniversay and raises money for the very same nonprofit as #CashnipKitty.Yep, they are both sweeter than a bowl of cream!

After his humans finally figured it all out, they decided to donate every dollar Sir Whines-A-Lot earns to the Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless. They chose this foundation because according to the firm’s founder, Stuart McDaniel, Sir Whines-A-Lot used to be homeless before they adopted him.

Since Sir Whines-A-Lot started “hustling” money from bystanders, they have donated a total of $282.98 dollars to the charity under the pseudonym CASHnip Kitty. They have also put up a Facebook page for updates and online donations under the same name.
