Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004How may I help you?
I went to the pet store yesterday to get some cat food. I took a load of tins and pouches to the counter to pay, and the girl started scanning the prices. She had a big black d*g with her behind the counter, and as I stood there waiting, he suddenly reared up on his hind legs, put his front paws on the counter and grinned at me. I could almost hear him say, "How may I help you?"

No, they are some very nice cats, actually. ;) Reggie lives in the bakery, and The Stripey Boys liv in the copy shop. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com alt.tv.frasier FAQ: http://www.im-listening.net/FAQ/ >>I went to the pet store yesterday to get some cat food.

And it's no surprise it was a dog. I think a cat would be *sleeping* on the counter, open one eye and say, "Aisle 7. Get it yourself." Sherry ...

I love it when I go into a workplace where a cat or a dog is hanging out. Annie > ...

You can just tell, they are either laughing at you or just plain goofy. Cats are more aloof when it comes to grinning, but they do, yes they do. But only when they feel like it :) Jill ...

It's subtle, with the corners of the mouth turned up. Annie >I stood there waiting, he suddenly reared up on his hind legs, put his front paws on the counter and grinned at me.

I tried to give him my hand to sniff, like I would if I met a cat, but he ignored me and stepped down. Maybe he was just very well trained. But that grin was so welcoming and encouraging.

A dog at a store would probably be *both* well trained *and* fairly used to ppl poking their hands at him or trying to pet him. Most would probably (be trained to almost) ignore hoomin customers, as it would probably not work out too well to have a dog in a shop pestering all the customers or running off with the interesting ones... :) SignatureChristine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) yahoo (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 > I've been a dog person most of my life, Laku's the first cat trying to > teach us proper manners.

An untrained dog would have run off with you. Just imagine the confrontation at your place with you brining home a dog and Frank and Nikki meeting you at the door...
