Conference misery::feline

    I was saying to my girlfriend the other day when Max was sick, that
    I sometimes wish I could bring him with me.  He would explore for a
    while, then he'd settle down and stick right by me.  
    
    It just might do something towards decreasing the blood-pressure of 
    folks in high-stress work situations, to have kitty sitting there next 
    to you....
    
    I know when I'm working at home, I like having them lay on the bed next
    to me (terminal is in a spare bedroom) while I work.

    I was thinking the same thing just yesterday.  My crew (Robin and Rocky
    especially, though Blueberry often takes advantage of their distracting
    me to make her own escapes) like to play "sneak behind/under/around Daddy
    as he leaves for work and then make him catch us".  The obvious
    response is "So, you want to come work?  It means a ride in the car,
    you know.  Past the vet's office...".]
    
    Rocky and I even talked about, but we concluded he'd be too
    irresistable a distraction to my coworkers.

    I like it!  I like it!  I know it would sure perk up my workday.  Now,
    who will volunteer to talk to Bob Palmer about it?!?

    I love it. I'd love to take Conan the super cat to work with me. She
    could waddle (she is kind of large, with very short stubby legs, a
    short body) upstairs and visit Bob. I'd feel awful leaving Pumpkin home
    - she hates being in the car, and is afraid of her own shadow. Conan
    would be roaming this place, visiting everyone, purring and accepting
    all tidbits offered. I'd have a very difficult time getting her out of 
    here. 
    
    That perked me up,
    Linda

    
    I can see it now..   Shilo would be first in line for all of the
    attention..  And Ollie, he would just lay there with is long legs
    stretched out in front of him say, "Look at me!"
    
    Wish that it could happen..  It would make the day more pleasureable!!
    
    Thanks for thinking about putting it in the notesfile..  It did bright
    up the rest of my day............
    
    
    

    Of course you know the ::CANINErs would demand equal time :-}
    
    Skrufy (personality type: Niles Crane from "Frasier") wouldn't even
    consider dealing with the stress of the ride and having to meet a bunch 
    of people... though if I managed to beam him into my cubicle he'd be my
    lap-warmer all day long.
    
    Veto (personality type: Gomer Pyle? Goofy?), on the other hand, would
    be beside himself--all those wastebaskets to tip over!  All those
    humans to love unconditionally!  All those pens to bat around and bric-
    a-brack to knock over!
    
    Love the concept,
    Leslie

	Taking k.d. to work right now would be a bad idea.... she just went
into her 1st heat.... :-)

    Couldn't possibly bring in Spike - our  hermetically sealed buildings
    would not permit a window to be opened so himself can overflow the
    window sill.  Brutus, well, he'd just love it!  "What's this? What's
    this? Can cats eat this? Do cats play with these?"  By the time he
    left, all paper clips, pens, and coffee stirrers would be under the
    refrigerators in the cafeteria...

    re: .2 - Len, I know you.  We've partied together.  Edd spoke of
    	your cat stories.  Next time you discuss things with Rocky,
    	tell him I said you're nuts...   
    
    
    
    	Many ;^) 's...
    

    Yes, I can just see the FIRM marching into my manager's office and
    demanding more money!
    
    Deb

    
    Yes, I can see this.  The CinnyMan, (pursonality like Beetle Baily)
    trying to charm all the managers and checking out all the "MICE" next
    to those PCs.
    
    Spots, Well, she is shy, but if there is food, she will love you, other
    wise she would just hang out under my desk, or even better she would go
    and make friends with all of the Cafeteria people and stay there for
    the day.
    
    The Princess Panther Jane, (Well, the FIRM represents her and they
    would have her signature on the papers demanding more money!) She would
    only condecend to visit with the Board of Directors or Purhaps with Bob
    Palmer.  (She knows that she out ranks him!) I wonder if they would
    discuss business stragey over Lunch, (Bob would have to pay.)  Panther
    Jane is ChairCat of the Board At Felines Basement, maybe she could
    discuss TV marketing????
    
    It would certainly be interesting!
    
    Feline Silly Today,
    
    Sue & Princess Panther Jane, Spots and CinnyMan
    

    My sister said she would like to be there at the end of the day when
    we all tried to get our kitties back into their box. 
    
    I can just see Christopher exercising his form of corporate acquisition 
    and making everything his, when he wasn't charming everyone for miles
    around.
    
    Lady Elizabeth would close her eyes and say "All to vulgar. Really"
    
    Ninja would have a wonderful time pouncing on unwary feet as they
    passed, as well as climbing up those lovely walls with fabric just made
    for little claws to grip into.
    
    Tigger wouldn't come--he's too old for this kind of think thank you
    very much.
    
    Charlie, after he had gotten over having a fit at being put into a box, 
    would charm everyone to pieces.  He truly is a warm sweet little ginger
    bread man.
    
    Me?  I would be a nervous wreck.  

I would never do a thing to my Smokey like that.

To pack her into the box just for bringing her into a place with a lot of 
twolegged folks and other dangers? And to make her unsure about her own brain 
still sitting in the right place? To bring a healthy cat among HUMANS? Never.

Nat, envious, wanting to have cat for himself alone.

    : )

    
    I can just see Blueberry wandering from cubicle to cubicle, inquiring
    "treats? treats?", and checking out the warmth on top of each monitor,
    until she found a comfy place where she could settle in, paws and chin
    hanging over the top front edge "Kilroy"-like...
