A County government office in the Southwest US have built a cat condo in their office and are allowing employees to take a cat or kitten back to their desk for an hour a day.

The cats are housed in the lobby of this two storey office and as so many people visit this government building on a daily basis, it gives them a greater chance of being adopted, after all, who can resist a fluffy kitten!

The office has 800 employees and each is allowed to take a cat back to their desk for an hour a day so that the cats get used to human interaction, it has also increased employee satisfaction and since the initiative started a year ago more than 100 cats have been adopted....

The kitties have a reputation for meowing at people as they pass by and most people cannot resist stopping to say hello.

Indeed. This post is in memory of La Lioness Priyanka's kitteh who used up her ninth life last night.

Many of us spectrumites are hard-core cat people, present company very much included.

7. It was easy to figure out why after I thought about it

for a while.

Cats clearly ask for what they want, when thy want it, unambiguously. They are not clingy as many dogs are, even if they want to be in the same room. What some people see as standoffishness I see as intelligent independence rather than an anti-social quality in the domestic feline.

Like us, cats each march to the beat of their own drummer, and if you sync up with a cat you have a true friend forever. Like Aspies, cats are fine with socialization, but both we and cats have to set the terms to be comfortable.

8. where do I send my resume?

I have experience in "cat" also experience in "kitten". And I can multitask. Also, I can open a can. Also good at head boops. I have references but they can't exactly write or talk.

no salary required.
