A pottery studio might not seem like the most exciting place for a cat, but a 6-month-old orange kitten named Georgie has declared it his favorite spot while his human gets to work. The adorable cat spends his day snuggled inside his dad’s apron, watching and “helping” as he transforms lumps of clay into beautiful, functional pottery.
Ceramics artist John Hunter has been hand-turning clay for more than 50 years. These days, he has an extra special assistant keeping him company in his pottery studio in Wisconsin. Georgie joined the family as a tiny kitten in August 2026, and the two have since become quite the creative team.
In a recent TikTok, @john.hunter.potter explains that Georgie is comfortable and happy tucked into the front of his apron as he works on his clay pieces. John explains that sometimes Georgie takes a little nap in the apron, or just watches the process as the most helpful little assistant.
The caption explains today’s task: “Making elephants with my little helper🐈😹 #ceramics #pottery #catsandceramics #elephant #kittens.”
John and Georgie have developed quite a following on TikTok, where viewers get an up-close look at their pottery projects and process. John often introduces his videos with “It’s John and Georgie here from the studio,” making it clear that his little companion is an important part of the operation.
Georgie seems perfectly content with his role. Sometimes he settles in for a nap while John works, and other times he’ll stretch out a little paw and rest it on his dad’s hand as if he’s an actual assistant at the wheel. It’s really hard not to smile watching these two work together.
The duo has become so popular that midway through the video, John announces that he will soon be selling some bowls with Georgie’s pawprint, aptly named “pawtery.”
