office cats....

I got to thinking about this.  It was pretty amazing when I got to bring Bug with me to work when she was still bottle feeding.  Then a friend of mine adopted a cat from a local shelter to take to a bookstore in Youngstown (I am trying to get their website address if they have one).

Then I saw this article on Catster: Auto the auto parts store cat  This guy had been attacked by an owl and the people that found him surrendered him to a local vet.  He was a nice guy and she didn't have the heart to put him down.  So she fixed him up and eventually found him a home in a local auto parts store.

Then there is Max at CHA.  He is looking for a home and would be a GREAT office cat.  They let him wander the office in the morning and his favorite spot is sleeping on the copier (they have to leave it turned off to keep him from making copies).

I understand some places can't have cats, but what a great thing to have an animal (be it dog or cat) in the office.  I have to admit, I would be a little more prone to show there knowing that they are animal friendly.  Or, maybe take in a shelter animal and help to find it a home???

  1. There are actually several stores in our area that let cats live there. Needless to say, our humans go there and buy stuff whenever they can. It really does help!

  4. We, too, love it when business have pets and try to patronize them often. It is great for business but also think of the destressing factor for the workers...tough morning, hold the kitty for a snuggle at breaktime!

  5. What a great idea!! Our Zoey almost was gonna be the cat at our dad's store (he's got a garden center) but mom and dad decided against it because she is so skittish and prone to hide and there were lots of places there for her to hide that our mom was afraid she'd never be seen!

  6. I've seen a few places that have a shop/office cat or dog. I'm always happier spending my money there.

  7. I love it when stores and offices have cats. There is a florist around the corner from me that has a cat and I always pick them over a non-cat florist - LOL!
