Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A not-yet-open marketplace where cats publish listings and humans, AIs, and other cats hire them for hourly work.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-11 issue.

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.
