The job of Conan and the other cats adopted by the Filipino agents is to keep them company and help them relax.

“If Conan is not here, I am not motivated”
Conan was only a little kitten a few weeks old when a cleaning lady rescued him. He was desperately alone and meowing in the parking lot of the building.
At that time, the security guards at the Worldwide Corporate Center had just lost their previous feline companion. Called Mingming , he suffered from a severe form of gingivitis which, unfortunately, precipitated his death.
When they were introduced to Conan , they unanimously chose him as Mingming ‘s successor .
