[Explanation] Recently, a stray cat named Ron in Shanghai has been on hot search.

After "training", it successfully turned into a "inspector" of a coffee shop on Xinhua Road in Shanghai, and was dedicated to catching rats.

  On October 29, when the reporter came to this coffee shop, he saw that Ron’s posters were posted at the door and inside the shop.

Wei Hao, an employee in the shop, said with a smile that the coffee shop was located in an old house. After five years of operation, rats have been raging for five years.

I have tried sticky mouse boards, mouse cages, and rat poison, but they are not very useful.

The arrival of the "new buddy" Ron changed all of this, and it has captured three mice in the first one and a half months after joining the company.

  The real work is when we are away, that is, when some mice ran out, it started to work. During the month and a half of its work, it also caught three of them. The (rats) have basically disappeared.

Moreover, I think its more (function) is to attract more people to see it.

  [Commentary] According to Wei Hao, Ron's arrival also made the atmosphere in the store more warm.

Unlike some stray cats that are afraid of people in the impression, Ron is a relative, he will lie down directly when he sees people, begging to be slapped.

With the expansion of Ron’s fame, the staff in the store now hear the most inquiries from customers, “Is Ron there?” In the future, they plan to train Ron as a “shop cat”. Entertain guests and become the image spokesperson of the coffee shop.

  Because of its presence, our environment here will make people feel that the whole is very reassuring, and the biggest thing is that I think it will become very happy here.

Just a lot of people will play with it.

  [Explanation] It is reported that Ron’s "entry" originated from the "Working Cat Project" initiated by Wang Ningning, a caring girl who rescued stray cats. Ron was the first pilot cat in the project.

Before taking the job, the project team did a good job of sterilization, immunization, deworming, and training for Ron.

  In Wang Ningning's view, the working cat plan is a win-win-win plan, which not only allows stray cats to find a way out, the store also solves the rodent infestation, and also reduces the pressure on the stray cat rescue organization.
