Workers arrived at Smith’s building around 8:30 a.m.
“I made sure to close the shutters so Cleo could see her boyfriend at work,” Smith said. “It was really lovely to watch their relationship develop.”

Nor does it end with construction workers. This adorable 1-and-a-half-year-old cat treats all handymen equally.
“I’ve noticed a love for electricians, plumbers, and cable workers,” Smith said. “We live in a 500-square-foot studio apartment, so it’s definitely the most exciting interaction this city kitty has ever experienced.”

While the workers haven’t had the chance to touch Cleo yet, seeing her is something they look forward to every day.
“Cleo is the epitome of the COVID kitty,” Smith said. “She loves being in front of others and absolutely hates being alone. Every time I leave the apartment for more than two hours she yells at me.”

“She had a very gentle, sweet demeanor and a calm vibe,” Smith said. “She has brought so much joy into my life.”
