I've always thought that the Tokyo cat cafes were an awesome idea; although I'm not sure our food-hygiene laws would let anyone open one here in the states (I'd work there!). I love the kitty jungle gym decor. Moritz is beautiful

In grad school I shopped at a feed store that had one or two cats (can't remember) that lived there. Unfortunately, they sometimes chewed into the bags of cat food.
Also, I have this picture as a screensaver on my Nook:

I love stores with animals. There used to be an awesome hole-in-the-wall bookstore downtown with a creaky floor, dim lighting, dusty shelves up to the ceiling, and two resident felines; one of them I swear knew me on sight (as well he should; I practically lived in that place).
There were a few bookstores around here with resident cats; a few years back I remember one was hit by a car because the store owner didn't have a sign (it's not clear if the owner had a brainfart and left the door open or a customer let it out)
The bookstore I worked at had a mouse problem for awhile and we were considering getting a cat, but since the store allowed dogs Bosslady didn't think it would work out too well (also I think at that time the store had an interior motion-sensing alarm).

That's the sort of place Gordon Shumway (sitcom ALF) would want to go to - but he'd have the wrong idea about why a cafe would have cats.
Was at the Dansville NY TA recently, and taped to the counter of the convenience store (also the motel registration desk) was a note saying their accommodations no longer included pets - due to the grammatical error, it sounds like you now need to bring your own pet rather than them supplying one, when it's actually a change that they now no longer ALLOW pets.
Any fool can piss on the floor. It takes a talented SC to shit on the ceiling.
Before Hurricane Ike, there was a restaurant in Galveston called the Captain's Table. We elected to sit in the bar area. When we arrived a large grey tabby strutted nearby. A local barfly slurred out, "That's Stormy. If you order the flounder, he'll be your friend."
Mrs. TGK did and and Stormy let her pet him (for a chunk of flounder, needless to say). She couldn't finish her flounder and a waitress assured her that she would save the rest for the cats (we saw several other cats dart around) as, "They only eat flounder."
I'm trying to see things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my keister!
Me too; I've been to quite a few used book stores and model train stores with their own pet cats. The cats are usually friendly and add a bit of color of the place.
my local game store has store cats... i think they even had a dog or 2, or maybe they just let someone bring their well behaved, interacts well with cats (or atleast knows its place) Corgi in ....
