Meet the Bus Conductor Cat of Athens

Athens Cat

Newsroom July 26 09:53

On TikTok, you can find everything, from funny videos with animals and children to educational content of all kinds. At Topetmou, our algorithm knows us well and mostly shows us videos of animals, including strays, tamed dogs, kittens, bunnies, and budgies. That’s how we discovered a video featuring a bus conductor cat.

This adorable orange female kitten stole our hearts. Her story began a few months ago. According to the bus driver’s account, the ginger cat gets on the bus with a friend for a little inspection – checking if everything is working properly, if it’s clean, if the driver is consistent with the routes, and so on. Since then, the bus has become her hangout spot.

The driver happily lets the cats get on the bus, wander the aisles, and roam between the seats. It seems he is quickly gaining their trust. In one video, the orange cat rubs against his legs, turns on her back, and asks him to pet her, which he eagerly does.

In another video, one cat looks jealous as the other enjoys the driver’s caresses, turning its back on him and staring out at the road.

As far as we can tell, the ginger cat named Giselle has taken control of the bus, and no route can start without her boarding to take a walk and see her favorite human. The driver jokingly says that his job might be in jeopardy.

Some time ago, Giselle disappeared from public view because she was on “maternity leave” after giving birth. She has since returned and recently showed off her baby to the camera, who is just as beautiful as she is.

We look forward to a follow-up video updating us on her life and wish more animal-loving people take care of animals as this driver does.
