    Hello All.

    I found this today online. I think I will have to make the 30 minute
    drive in to meet some kitties. :)

    Cats roaming Halloween Express store encourage shoppers to adopt


    I had kittens in my shop one time for the same purpose - fostering them until they find permanent homes. They were quite a customer magnet!

    The kittens would be let out in the mornings for about an hour before the shop would open to the public. We could not have free-roaming kittens in case they run outside.

    I can completely understand that. I think these kitties are protected
    by a secondary internal screen door at this shop if I remember right.

    Sometimes, it was quite a challenge to round them up to be able to open the door to the public on time. Picture this.. 50+ year old man laying down on floor uttering kitten-isms trying to convince 5 rogue felines to come to me from anywhere in a 1100 sq ft floor space full of shelving and plenty places to hide. It was a game. Eventually they realized the "rewards" of being caught: a belly rub, a decent massage and a savory treat.
