Colorado Hardware Store Cat Jingles Becomes Local Celebrity [VIDEO]

Seven years ago, a large gray cat walked into a True Value hardware store in Crested Butte, Colorado and never left. Since then, he's become the unofficial mascot of the town and a local celebrity. Why? Just look at the way he's sitting in that chair like he doesn't have a care in the world. That is one awesome cat. 

The cat, whose name is Jingles El GatoPerro, has regular visitors at the hardware store and the local school newspaper is even trying to raise interest in a Jingles 2012 presidential campaign.

Just goes to show, even cats can earn fame for no good reason. Basically Jingles is the Kim Kardashian of cats.

Check out Jingles' story below.
