- This cat patrols the museum displays daily for the last 16 years. One time, Dude appeared in the museum’s backyard as a stray and has never left since. So now, he’s the one who meets the visitors and watches every exhibition before anyone else!

Some of Dude's first school kid guests are probably bringing their own kids to see Dude now. Isn't that sweet?🥹
It really is 😸😻❤️💖💖!!
🥹🥹
He ain't too hungry anymore the way he's waddling so majesticly around
He's old and had a good life :) his Belly shows this
@@AljoschaW1993also it’s not just belly but loose skin. Some cats have this. But sure he has a big extra on him but not so much.
Also they said in the clip he has arthritis so that is major factor most likely why he walks as he does
LOL
I wouldn’t say he’s waddling majestically,
His pouch is FLAPPIN IN THE WIND 😂he got a pig ol fupa 😂😂😂😂
he also looks like he just has a unique gait to his walk, hes chubsters but he probably has mobility issues from age too
In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this. Terry Pratchett
Yeah, its not like humans can adopta. Museum
they still are in Turkey and Muslim countries. in Turkey they treat cats better than people. every single shop has a cat living in it. it is normal to see.
Terry Pratchett captured it perfectly! 😸
@@JohnEastmanExAttyAtLaw Agreed, i have seen a good few of those videos.
@@bobsterclause342 Most humans need to be exhibited in a museum haha.
The hardest little worker. He deserves all the treats!
he walks around like he is the boss though
Approaching unsuspecting visitors from a dinosaur exhibit, Dude has likely STARTLED plenty of museum guests. One of the perks of his job. And they thought sabre-toothed cats were extinct!
that's cute!!!
❤️🐈❤️
No, this is just a museum adopting cat
@@bobsterclause342read the room dude
What a sweet elderly gentleman, his litttle chirps are like tigers chuffs.
Having a cat at public places like a museum can generate a lot of community good will. Cats are great at public relations. Businesses know this too. There are YT videos of a cat that lives at a Lowes hardware store. People go there just to see the famous YT cat. Bet the cat increase sales by at least 20%, but there is no way of knowing the exact number.
Humans cant adopt a lows store
Absolutely! Cats have a special way of bringing people together and creating a positive atmosphere.🐱❤️
The train museum in Ely, Nevada had a museum cat who lived in the very dirty workshop. He's passed on now, but when he was around he definitely had the look of a blue collar cat! Dust on the fur and grime under the "fingernails"! IIRC, they may have a new one.
He is the true star of the museum. And he will definitely always be employee of the month.
Absolutely! 🌟 Dude shines bright at the museum🐾❤️
School kids who grew up with dude will probably take their own kids to meet Dude.
Cats only live for roughly 16-18 years.
@@kandykane2160 Yes, but the first 12-year-olds who met Dude at the museum are now 28. Odds are some of those have kids…
@@martynlester9869 lol! Of course. I don't know what I was thinking.
@@kandykane2160Everyone makes mistakes in the heat of passion Jimbo 😎
@@martynlester9869 Yeah, but not 12 year old kids. :D
Had a cat named Dude. He was a black Hemingway. Slept on the couch and drank out of the toilet. Dude did abide.
What a great story! 😸 Your Dude sounds like he was quite the character. It's amazing how cats like ours leave such lasting impressions. 🐾❤️
Every museum needs one.
🐾❤️
I keep saying, every workplace should have a kitty. ❤
🐾❤️
Am I saying that "Dude" reminds me of a museum conservator in the (redacted) XXXXX Museum of Natural History at the University I studied and worked in for decades on and off? No-no-no-no. Am I saying that the story of why a very old stuffed penguin ended up in the tropical exhibition room for 20 years due to a distraction involving the same curator was not part of the legend of that beautiful museum? No, not at all.
Just give this cat a diploma. 16 years of working as an exhibition assistant should qualify this cat for an honourable curator degree. (I am saying this as one of the proudest moments in my life - when my dog got an honourable 4 study points diploma in "Earth Science field studies" and even was recruited as the "external sensor" for the (quite informal) oral examination we held for PhD students after a yearly 2-week field-course in advanced fieldwork for a decade). Legends deserve recognition. This cat is an honourable curator as much as "movie stars" get honourable diplomas and degrees around the academic world for far less commitment to academia. This stray found a home in academia as more strays of the world should.
What a heartfelt tribute! 😺 Dude has truly left his paw prints on the museum, and your words capture his dedication perfectly. 🌟 Let's celebrate his honorary curatorship-here's to legends like Dude making the world a better place! 🎓🐾
He is such a sweetie. Thank you to the museum Director, who brought him in and the staff and people of Delaware who have loved him. ❤😻
Awww good Kitty, best employee for life
Dude is a lovely senior gentleman. His pouch swaying as he does his rounds had me chuckling. What a cutie ❤
The only museum employee as good or maybe even better than Dude is Chris who had the wisdom and kindness to bring Dude in off the streets and give him a job. Good luck finding a robot or AI persona to improve on either one of them!!
I love how you’ve incorporated him into the life of the museum! He looks happy and well loved!
2:28 hooman : "He's semi-retired".
2:29 😺 : "No way! "
❤ u Dude!
Dude has so many museum friends. I hope he has at least a couple more good years of life.
Same. Hope everything turns out well for him.
Purrfect meownager of the meowseum. He even has the wealth belly of a 19th century factory patriarch.
I love how cats 🐈 just show up randomly and ask to be loved
Ask? Demand, require, expect, receive are the operative words I think.
He is absolutely perfect and clearly so loved at the museum. He is so lucky to have such a good life with people who value and treasure him.❤
Hugs for Dude😮😊
I would LOVE to have a co-worker like Dude.
Not surprised that he’s an orange creamsicle tabby - love orange tabbies 😻😻🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾
Orange cat for the win. Thank you for giving that sweet boy a home and taking care of him. This video made me smile
His walk is everything, when you look into Chris's starry eyes 🤩 when paying attention to the 🐈 says everything how he feels about this 🐈 😍 absolutely wonderful. Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤
Absolutely! 😍 Chris and Dude share such a special bond, it's heartwarming to see. Thanks for your lovely words and support! 🌟🐾❤️
Whatever he’s getting paid to be cute, it isn’t enough. 🥰 ☺️ 😊
Dude is a great ambassador for PR and helps propitiate worries. Thanks for sharing.
“A cat 🐈 can’t get his job done around here without the “caterazi” snapping pics here & there. Good thing all my sides are good.”
Haha, so true! 📸 Dude's definitely a star✨
It wonderful to see animals being looked
at as an Asset instead of a liability.🤗🌹
Adorable! When Dude crosses the rainbow bridge, I'm sure he'll be glad to give his position to another feline who needs a good job.❤
that belly sway!
Dude should train an assistant to take over for him.
actually this is a history of friendship
Chris’s smile and attention for Dude are the best.
Male orange cats are the BEST!!
Yes they are! Love them! 😻😻🐾🧡🐾🧡🐾
My favorite type of kitty.
Dude's a hardworking older cat, in fact, he's like a museum guide! Give the kitty a treat!
♥️😸💓😸💚😸
I have a young cat just like him. I sure wish Mango was like Dude during a brushing. Unfortunately he's very combative during that time, but generally very sweet, like Dude.
It sounds like Mango has a lot of personality! 😸 Brushing can be tricky, but it's great to hear he's generally sweet like Dude. 🐾❤️
Employee of the month every month. What a lovely cat
There also used to be a stray museum cat at the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Nova Scotia named Erik the Red. One of the workers there had a collar made for him that read ;
"My name is Erik. I live on the Ship ACADIA at the Maritime Museum. I know my way home. Please put me down".
(Sadly, Erik passed about 10 years back...)
He's so adorable 🥰.
I love orange kitties!
Sweet boy🩷
🐾❤️
I saw another bit on YT about this cat years ago. I'm happy to see that he's still working for the museum.
The Big LeMeowski! ❤❤❤
He just did what we all do when out of work. He found a job and meowed his way in to the position.
So warm to have a cat in museum
Awww lovely story 🥺❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍
That big stretch was just precious!
You’re making me cry! May Dude live forever!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💞
My cat is 15 years old and are as much playful as he was when he was a kitten 😻
That's wonderful to hear! 😻
that's beautiful. thanks for sharing
He showed up a a museum, probably looking for food. He ended up finding a place to live, a 'job', and a lot of love.
He deserves a nice warm place to sleep at night I hope that Chris keeps him at his home at night
Where does he stay at night
The narration says he comes to work in the morning and is “ready to head out” in the evening. That implies he lives with a member of staff - probably Chris.
Dude Loves History!! He Works At The Museum!! This Cat Is Workaholic!! I LOVE To See A Cat At Work!! Dude Should Be Cat Employee FOREVER!! Awesome!!
Thanks for the enthusiasm! 😺 Dude truly loves his job at the museum and brings a lot of joy to everyone.
Dude Is ONE COOL HISTORIC CAT!!❤😊
What an adorable story xx
🐾❤️
Visiting this museum would be cruel and unusual punishment for me: making me choose between seeing the dinosaurs and spending all the time belly rubbing Dude! 😆 Can't really do both with the right amount of focus and attention.
Awwww ❤... A real life "Garfield" 😅 soo cute
It's so good he's taken care of so well! He's a loving cat!❤
I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through. - Jules Verne
There is something about the presence of a cat... that seems to take the bite out of being alone.
Jules Verne captured the magic of cats beautifully! 🐱✨ Their presence truly brings comfort and joy. Thanks for sharing these wonderful quotes! 🌟😊
A cat CAN walk on a cloud without coming through, but if they want food and it’s early, they can make their paws push down the force of a thousand planets. They can change weight for heavens sake!
You're very lucky to have him
Dude, your existence is a blessing to this world.
He's so chonky ~ ❤
Everyone needs a dude in their life ❤
At 0:59, Dude you got my vote, have the 😊corner office, lifetime treats and employee of the month for hardest working mascot/worker
Big Boy
Big elderly gentleman who works hard and faithfully for his meals.
Gotta love the Dude he has worked for most of his years. Gimme five Dude 😊
Dude is adorable!!But not the healthiest weight.😺💗😺
Thanks for your concern! 😊 Owners keep a close eye on Dude's health to make sure he's happy and well. 🐱❤️
He really hard worker. Even I took some vacation from my heretic days.
Love his little chirps. ❤
That’s awesome. Thanks for taking in and helping Dude.
His waddle is adorable ❤🥰
I love so much to see Jude treated with so much ❤️
Dude is so amazing and cute and bless you for taking him in and allowing him to be the director 😸😻❤️💖💖!! I think it was most likely that he was abandoned, as for a stray, he does seem quite overweight. Hopefully, as he is moving about as the semi director of the museum, he will be able to lose that excess weight and that should help his arthritis ❤️💖. If I lived nearby, I would love to visit this museum just to see the feline director, Dude 😸😻❤️💖💖!!
Dude has a Wibble that wobbles when he walks❤
Dude: Look at me, I’m the main attraction now.
I love the foot steps you gave him.
16yrs and no one adopted him? They could still bring him back and forth to the museum. Making a cat live outdoors is a death sentence.
Precious kitty! ❤🤗❤
I want to come see him. He's such a good boy.
When Dude crosses over the rainbow bridge, he should be made one of the exhibits. What a super addition to the museum this sweet soul makes.
Thank you for your kind words! 🌈 Dude is indeed a special part of the museum family🐾
Oh my gosh! He is soooo cutteee.. love his walk ❤🥰😍
That's one chunky boy!
Awww I just saw that this video he's a blessing.
not to mention what a good looker he is
Dude's a great name for a cat
I love the sound of his foot steps. I kind of wish he was wearing a tie at work.
Such a cutie. Okay so does he go home woth Chris? How has someone not just built him a Catio at the museum? Such a cutie, please give him lots of love.
Oh cute cute baby boy ❤
Very Cool !!
Cute sweet kitty
I love his waddle and the pigeon sounds he makes
That cat is saying “ha ha! Remember when you used to step on us? Well, who’s stepping on who now!”
He’s purrfect
I love his chirps…
Never been to Delaware but would go visit this museum just to see Dude ❤
Ooh he CHONKY
Dat primordial pouch! 😍
😂 certainly the best museum creator I ever seen. He's so gorgeous bless you for saving him and giving him a terrific forever home and job. Cracking good video thanks for sharing 🖤😎👍
Thank you so much! 😺
