Cats are renowned for being cunning, which is one of the reasons why extremely cunning burglars are known as cat burglars.

An unexpected cat attack on a group of Japanese office workers served as a reminder of this truth.

However, this cunning cat wasn’t taking anything. He was conducting reconnaissance with the help of his stealth.

An office worker unintentionally observed that a little face was peering down at him through a hole in the ceiling, which led to the discovery of the kitty’s surveillance scheme.

He took a brief photo of the cat and emailed it to a coworker, who in turn shared it on Twitter and made a lighthearted comparison to a security camera.

Since then, the adorable CCTV camera’s amusing photographs have gone viral on Twitter and are making everyone giggle.

Maybe the cat was simply making sure that everyone was paying attention and giving it their all.

If we knew this adorable cat was watching out for us, we’re sure we’d all put in more effort.
