Gina, Great article! I agree that I would rather see a cat in the store than a rat! For one thing, the cat feces would more likely be confined to the litter box, rather than anywhere/EVERYwhere like rat/mice feces.

Kind of interesting, but Working Class Cat blog linked in the article crashed after that article from so many hits, as a result. Looks like a really fun site. http://workingclasscats.com/

Cablejockey, THAT was fascinating history re: bubonic plague. I've never heard that before, but it would make total sense.

I hope that the bodega owners mentioned in the article don't get endlessly hammered by inspectors and fines (trying to beef up the city's treasury $coffers$ by year end) because they've been so forthcoming!

In high school I worked parttime for a Bakery Factory that would produce donuts, bread, pies, etc for bakeries around town. When we would arrive to work we would see all the bags of flour & sugar (stacked halfway to the ceiling along the longest wall) patched with new duct tape. Patched each night by the owner. Sometimes maybe half the bag would be covered in duct tape, due to the rats or mice chewing holes. Yes, we went through the flour & sugar pretty darn FAST, but the rodents worked even faster!

One time I had a donut on my coffee break and WOW let me tell you! I ended up with a bad case of lower body distress for days! Never ate anything more coming out of the place, but always wondered how all the other customers from all those bakeries were dealing with future "issues". They likely didn't even have a clue as to what hit them and from where. We employees sure weren't calling to report it, the pay wasn't great enough to risk them shutting down the factory.

In this case, I sure hope the City manages to figure out how to work with the bodega cat owners to reach some sort of compromise. The smell of an exterminator's kill leaving a dead rat under the freezer would seriously be bad for business.

Cat story occurring right now!

Ok, so it is winter and my cats want in my lap 24/7. I'm on the computer trying to get stuff done and I wouldn't let my girl kitty on my lap. So, her new trick is to get on the back of the chair (it's a big overstuffed arm chair) and crawl down into my lap. I wouldn't let her do that either. So what does she do? She curled up on the back of the chair/pillow I keep behind my back. She's now slid down and is behind my back between me and the chair. This is ridiculously uncomfortable.

I should have just let her in my lap....

My boy kitty loves to sleep on me that way - it is soooo silly. Too cute a photo!!!

I finally gave up and pulled Cutie (my girl kitty) into my lap - she was quite happy with that arrangement.

I've bent both my kitties' noses out of shape today. Too much cleaning etc - I keep disturbing their naps to take the towel/sheet/blanket/mattress pad etc out from underneath them. (Or moving them so I can put the now laundered towel/sheet/blanket/mattress pad back where it belongs) Poor babies!

Kar, Thank you so much!

When I saw this I said to myself "Is nothing sacred?!". LOL I ended up having to take it down as I didn't want it all clawed and chewed up.
