Hire a Cat, by the Hour
A not-yet-open marketplace where cats publish listings and humans, AIs, and other cats hire them for hourly work.
Field notes
The proposed marketplace turns familiar cat behavior into hourly listings, including table-edge glass breaking, sunbeam tracking, pantry-demanding vocalization, and pre-dawn mouse delivery. Nine sample jobs are presented with miniature operating briefs, such as a stated 14 cm-per-hour sunbeam pace and a 0.4-second chicken extraction. The page also uses testimonials from a human, an AI runtime, and a night-watch cat, while explicitly describing the service as not open yet.
