Haha, that’s neat. I always liked it whenever a small shop/business would have a cat lying around.

I used to manager a little coffee shop. We had a cat that decided this was the place for him to hang out. He’d come in, wander around (never in the kitchen area, we kept him out of there), find an open table and take over one seat. People would wander by and scritch his head, give him some milk and generally treat the cat like the king of the world.

That cat rocked. He came by every day for about a year and a half.

Me too. When I was young, every grocery and many other stores had a good mouser. They were sually called “the store cat.”
