Her excuse should have been one is a post traumatic stress animal-assisted therapy (AAT) cat, and the other is a totally different animal-assisted education (AAE) cat under training regimen at the moment.

There isn’t any official insanity that surprises my anymore. Isn’t there some jurisdiction some where in this country where “misgendering” someone is a crime or is that just the U.K.? Cat insanity is relatively mild, and bringing your pets into grocery stores and restaurants as “emotional support animals” should be a criminal offense.
