I always like being greeted by a cat when I go into certain business. There are some local businesses that I have come across that have cats. I’m surprised with so many people who are allergic to cats, that any business would have one.
In the Arcade between Euclid and Prospect, The Bancroft Gallery has a big bushy black cat in it. They do framing and sell artwork. Sometimes I’ll go there on my lunch hour to visit. The owner actually had two cats at one time and has some pictures up on his door of one of them on his back. There used to be a photography store with a nice cat that lived in there. Sometimes I would go in on my lunch hour just to pet that cat. Last time I went though, I was disappointed to see the store wasn’t there anymore.
When we go to Richardson’s for our spring flowers, there is an orange cat there too who hangs out near the register. That’s one of the reasons we go there even though there are other places closer where we could buy our flowers. I like petting that orange cat. Our vet, Dr. Hart on Akins Road in Cleveland has two greeter cats. It’s nice because usually we have to wait and they provide some entertainment. The one is very friendly and will usually come over and let me pet him while I wait. My dad’s vet on Memphis also had a friendly greeter cat.
Both my husband and I liked the book, Dewey about a cat that was dropped into a book return box at a library and the librarian who found it and let it stay in the library. I wish our library had a cat. Do you know of any businesses that have cats? What do you think about business with pets?
