I am a domestic violence counselor. I think any avenue that give resources to a person experiencing violence is a good thing.

Jezebelians be like “Legistlators don’t care about women” and then when they try to to prove otherwise “Legistlators have gone too far!”

What’s with all the hate? I think it’s a great idea.

Sure they can. It’s absolutely their right to say we have chosen to have a cat for pest control/company/conversation etc. and it is your right to not patronize their establishmentioned due to said cat. Why do they have to cater to those who have cat allergies? Maybe they are more focused on catering to cat lovers? I…

It is absolutely a thing.

If it’s an old building you will never be able to just plug it up and stop the mice. It’s not always that easy.

Why not just decide not to patronize businesses who have dogs, rather than actively fight to get them banned?

lol well.. that excuse had to be true sooner or later. i have 3 cats.. 1 likes the book covers 1 chews on thick cables(like the tv cable) and one loves thin cables/wires ... so my house is now one step short of being a padded room... all the cables are in plastic cableguard (even my mouse) all the books are in…

It’s funny...every single thing you said about untrained & poorly socialized dogs (and untrained owners).......

*also* applies to untrained and poorly socialized cats.....

I’m addition to libraries, they’re fairly common in archives, town clerk’s offices, museums, and other places where you have delicate (usually paper) items that rodents love. The tradition of library cats in particular goes back to at least the Dark Ages that we know of, and likely earlier. It’s only in the U.S. and…

I discovered something interesting about allergies, but I don’t know if it’s a common occurrence or if it is uniquely personal. Over the course of a year, I acclimated myself to one specific cat and eventually stopped having any allergic reactions to him. It did not, however, make things any easier for me around…

When saliva attaches to the fur and the cat sheds, especially longer fur, that creates the allergic reaction people have in environments coated with cat fur. By regularly brushing working cats and vacuuming their environments, it dramatically reduces the problem.

The post does mention the cat was brought in for pest control, so Browser is a working cat. I’m a cat person too (obvious by my picture), I like that there is a legit reason to have a cat on the premises that’s more than cats just being awesome.

Librarian here. The matter of library cats is a controversial one, but a majority in the library world come down on their side. One of the main reasons actually is health and allergies — the reactions to pesticides, rodents, and rodent matter are typically way worse than to a cat.

Touche. But I think then it would be Leather Settlement.

It’s safe to say this town has a racist name, but Mr Clements looks like he could have founded it:

On the list of Classic Blunders right after “Never go against a Sicilian when death is on the line” is “never get in a small town turf war over a cat”

Why wouldn’t relatives of his victims be able to close their eyes and peacefully whatever they feel like doing with Roof in prison instead of in the ground?
