  • Shop cats are hard to find in Vancouver stores but their human co-workers say they make for a more pleasant workplace, and their role is evolving. As Liam Britten tells us, some shop felines have become equal part mouser and mascot.

    I had a bookshop in Ohio wherein shelter cats were fostered and then adopted by customers. More than 50 were adopted from my shop over the years. I then wrote a series of novels about the experience (Shelve Under C is the first) to encourage other shops to look into fostering dogs, cats, rabbits, etc. The business that took over my location continued to foster, thankfully.

      Yes, someone reported Mickey the cat at Top Ten Produce in Vancouver and the city had to enforce it's "no animals in food stores" regulation. It's here: ua-cam.com/video/RJ7vPZneDzM/v-deo.html

    They need to upgrade the health regulations, especially in Vancouver. Rodents near food are no joke. You can't just go putting poison all over and having dead rodents that shed dangerous insects. The people doing frivolous complaints should be charged with criminal mischief for abusing law enforcement.

    Not a shop cat - but a nice little kitty has moved into my now rodent free veggie garden, Thankfully the birds still visit and she leaves them alone and she has not pooped once in my garden Feed her amply to keep her around yet still keep the rodents out.

    Cats are important members of staff, have been for centuries. There is no better rodent control than a cat. Cats have also been scientifically proven to be both emotionally and physically therapeutic for people. Bonus: they are also so very adorable!

    Romans 1:25 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator who is blessed forever, amen"
    How come when I hear stories about an animal/pet who is what seems like their supposed to be more special than others when it's just acting like other pets would do in the same situation, everybody wants to get in on the action about just one cat when there's thousands of other homeless cats out there?
