Edison's Cat

When inventor Thomas Edison was busy in his laboratory, he would often spend the entire day there. To add some fun to his long and tedious experiments, he kept a gentle calico cat in his workshop. This cat particularly loved to quietly lie by his workbench when Edison was deep in thought, playfully batting at the experimental parts on the desk with its paws. Instead of getting angry, Edison considered this cat his 'lucky charm.' Whenever an experiment hit a bottleneck, he would stop his work, pet the cat's back, and listen to its comfortable purring, finding relaxation and inspiration. This furry companion, who stayed with him through countless nights, also witnessed many world-changing inventions.
