Guilty_One85 on February 23, 2026 10:50 pm Thank God for the keen eyes of that worker or that cat would have died!@
BearClaw345 on February 23, 2026 10:52 pm I’m glad the cat is okay, but I don’t think a cat should be a deputy environment minister.
Enough_Series_8392 on February 23, 2026 10:53 pm the worker looks genuinely devastated that someone would do this. looks as if he may have been struggling to hold back tears for a second.
Torenga on February 23, 2026 10:56 pm are they finding a lot of people on that conveyor belt too? because people are trash, i mean
WaltMitty on February 23, 2026 11:00 pm Some people are so careless. Cats have a resin identification code of 9. Only numbers 1-2 are widely recyclable.

Redditing-Dutchman on February 23, 2026 11:03 pm A cat as a deputy environment minister? This is a disaster for mice everywhere.
HensAndChicks on February 23, 2026 11:07 pm He’s also like “what do i do with him”..? lol boss like : “no break only work” man : -insert cat in jacket and keeps working-
TapProfessional5146 on February 23, 2026 11:10 pm I am watching this video with my own rescue thats snuggling up in my arms.
Beholder_V on February 23, 2026 11:11 pm Man I’d like to meet the person who did that to the cat. Have a nice long “conversation” with them.
kr4ckenm3fortune on February 23, 2026 11:13 pm Goddamn…reddit is dead if it posting 6 year old video…is reddit finally in a down spiral?
honesttruth2703 on February 23, 2026 11:14 pm So, not the guy who saved the cat. It’s the cat that is now a deputy minister. Uh, ok.
Monir5265 on February 23, 2026 11:16 pm This [happened](https://www.dailysabah.com/world/europe/saved-from-the-garbage-russian-cat-becomes-deputy-minister/amp) in 2020 in Russia. Pretty heartwarming story. I don’t get why people get pets if they can’t take care of it. It sickens me
morosco on February 23, 2026 11:17 pm Unfortunately, the cat turned out to be a climate change denier.
Due_Challenge3408 on February 23, 2026 11:23 pm This is crazy for 2 reason. 1. If your job is to work that conveyor belt of trash, you must just constantly be zoned out and day dreaming. Amazing he saw it. 2. Who the fuck would get rid of an animal like that? Sick fuck.
