Angry-Looking Cat Takes His Job Of Guarding Watermelons Very Seriously

As we move into the summer months (at least in the northern hemisphere), some of us are no doubt getting excited for watermelon season.

One watermelon farm in Thailand features an ornery, dedicated employee named Pearl.

The reason this story has gone viral is for the simple fact that Pearl is a cat.

You'll have to go through Pearl to get your watermelons.

Pearl looks pretty unassuming here, but he's a tough guy when it comes to working the watermelon farm.

Judging from the following pics, you don't want to mess with Pearl.

I guess he's mainly a deterrent.

It's hard to say what, exactly, Pearl's actual duties are. But he seems dedicated to the task at hand. Sometimes, all you need is a stern-looking employee present to discourage shoplifters.

Don't even think about it.

I really appreciate how Pearl is placing a protective paw on the load of watermelons to discourage anyone who might think of pilfering one without paying.

It's a living.

Pearl clearly takes some much-deserved r&r time here and there — so long as it's within view of his precious watermelons, of course.

Let us know your thoughts on this hilariously ridiculous cat in the comments!
