Well ... here's my sure-to-be-unpopular opinion of cats in businesses:
I'm VERY allergic to cats ... not just a sneeze or two, I could easily wind up in the emergency room from being around a cat. I don't dislike cats, I just can't be in a room with them. Therefore, I do NOT appreciate it when I go into a store to buy a book or a cup of coffee, and there are cats wandering around. I just have to leave.
My mechanic has numerous cats living in his garage. They don't bother my allergies, since the building is HUGE. However, one time I picked my car up from him, and it had scratches from cat claws down the fender. I was NOT pleased.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
