feline staff members are as integral to the team as their human counterparts. At Qnote Inc., a system engineering firm based in Tokyo’s Suginami Ward, this is a reality. The company has 11 "cat employees," each with a unique role that goes beyond the usual office antics.

The story of these cat employees began in 2004, just a year after the company’s inception, with the adoption of Futaba, a female cat who had previously lived in foster care at a local sushi restaurant.

In the worst-case scenario, if you decide not to take any action, then the tax department can issue you an income tax notice.
