Ever since PAX EAST 2014, Noodles has been making her own costumes for video game conferences, and she’s just shared her newest creation on her Instagram account.

“She’s been a huge Nintendo fan since the late ‘90s,” says Jeff Cerbin, a friend of the cat. “So her Mario choice is not surprising.”

The cosplay is minimal – a hand-crocheted plumber’s cap with the signature red M. But it’s sure to be a hit at this year’s E3, one of the biggest gaming conventions in the world, which kicks of in Los Angeles on June 16th.

“She loves getting paws-on previews of new games, but mostly, she loves to pose with the fans,” says Cerbin.

For most office workers, Casual Fridays are a chance to unwind, relax and ease into the weekend. But not for Step, a mid-level marketing executive at New York financial giant Citigroup.

Co-workers say Step has begun to dress up on Fridays, rather than dress down.

“He’s coming to work in a black tie and tails,” said the cat’s manager, Carolyn Mulvaney. “As a cat, we don’t even require him to wear clothes at all, and he walks in every Friday looking like he’s about to go to a gala benefit at the Yale Club.”

Friends of the cat aren’t sure why he’s rebelled against casual Fridays, but suspect that he might be angling for a promotion.

“He sees upper management come to work in suits every day and I think he believes if he dresses fancy, he’ll get promoted,” said cubicle mate Andrew Bolt. “Obviously that’s not how things work here, but, hashtag cat logic, am I right?”
