Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2004Working Cats
I had to run some errands yesterday, and got to check in with some working cats in ther neighborhood. First I had to get some photocopying done, so I saw the Stripey Brothers. These are two very cute, almost identical, tabby guys, with white paws and noses, very tilted bright green eyes. They look like they're wearing matching striped sweaters. They are very friendly, nosy cats, who frequently sleep in empty boxes, and on top of the copying machines. They also walk around getting in your way when you're trying to collate your copies, and otherwise supervise everything. A few doors away is the bakery, with Reggie, a huge orange tabby guy. Reggie is also a promiscuous wool-sucker and smurgler given even the slightest opportunity. He also throws his paws around necks, and strangles you so you have to be careful approaching him. Fortunately, I am familiar with all his moves. Reggie is a sweetie, but he reminds me somewhat of a big overgrown guy who still sucks his thumb. ;) Theresa alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ Single-mindedness is all very well in cows or baboons; in an animal claiming to belong to the same species as Shakespeare it is simply disgraceful. (Aldous Huxley) They all sound adorable to me. BT Rowdy is a wool-sucker (what we call a "noozer") also. I'm sure you made sure they all got their petting due for all their hard work. : I had to run some errands yesterday, and got to check in with some : working cats in ther neighborhood.

I haven't seen a business with a resident cat in years. It makes running errands enjoyable. -- CATherine >>I had to run some errands yesterday, and got to check in with some >>working cats in ther neighborhood.

I only know of one art gallery with a cat, who likes to sleep on the window sill of the large street windows. They often show art with cats, too. Come to think of it, I haven't visited it for ages. Wonder if it's still there?

That's working!?? Where do I sign up for a job like that. Can you say, "Will work for food"? Oh, never mind, one of the job requirements is that you have to look cute sleeping on a desk. Regards and Purrs, O J Gritmon PS. as I type this I've got a cat who won't relinquish *his* space on the desk and is sitting on my right hand Ah, he is *so* *cute*. : Here's ours: : [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] : him and give him a little pet. Not bad for an employee who sleeps all : day on my desk. heh, he knows it. There's 2 things that'll happen if he's asleep and you talk to him. He eithers carries on sleeping, totally comatose, bar some REM and ear twitching or he looks at you, miaows, turns his head upside down and purrs while making mudpies in the air towards your face. > Ah, he is *so* *cute*. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > : him and give him a little pet.

Oh how cute :) locke_cole2@hotmail.com (Laurence) had some very interesting things to say about Re: Working Cats: >Here's ours: >http://meriko.net/evilblog/DeskSnooze.jpg >Not public relations per se, but clients can't help but walk over to >him and give him a little pet.

Now WHERE was the Kitten Fever Warning on this egregious example of excessive cuteness???? ;-) Signature"Don't mess with major appliances unless you know what you are doing (or unless your life insurance policy is up-to-date)." - John, RCFL > I wish we had more places like that here.

I though that the very large, long-haired white cat was a toy, until it blinked. SignatureCheryl > I once visited a craft shop, now, alas, out of business.

A similar thing happened to me while visiting a tourist gift shop in Key Largo, Florida quite a few years ago. On one shelf there were several baskets of little stuffed animals. I was glancing at them casually until one of them *moved*. Suddenly I noticed that there were live kittens sprinkled amongst the stuffed animals! About 3 or 4 of them, maybe 8-10 weeks old, snoozing happily in the baskets - which, of course, were put there just for them. :) Joyce |
