Pizza Delivery Guy Gets Kitten As Tip, Still Has It 17 Years Later

When you’re a college kid trying desperately to  make ends meet, getting tipped in animals instead of real money is not ideal. But it ended up working out for Reddit user Hyemp, who tells the story of how he was given a kitten as a tip when he delivered a pizza 17 years ago. Plot twist: he still has the cat.

His name is Mr. Tips. This is him.

Hyemp explains:

I was stoned in college delivering a pizza to a house on a farm. Some stoned 20 something answered the door and said he only had exact change and he was sorry for no tip. Then he proceeded to hand me a kitten as he said, “but you can have a kitten as a tip!” and I very highly said, “alright maaaan. cool” and here we are 17 years later.

So, they handed Hyemp the exact amount for the pizza. And a kitten, that subsequently cruised around delivering pies with his new owner throughout the duration of his shift.

At 17-years old, Hyemp says the cat’s health is starting to decline. One can only hope the cat had a good life and didn’t freak out, thinking he’d be traded, every time he was around pizza.
