...may the sun never set on the British Feline Empire!

If it was up to the moggies over there, they wouldn’t have a problem with radical Islam. You ever had one of those muscular cats smack you with those hard little paws? We had a Manx once. All muscle. He’d forget himself when he was toked up on catnip and smack the heck out of us. I learned to keep my hands back when I gave him catnip!

"I take it that you avoid organic food. (You do know what organic fertilizer is, don't you?) And produce picked by hand. And fish products, except, perhaps, Mississippi certified catfish. And don't even think about where eggs come from."

Yeah, you're right, I couldn't care less about overpriced organic food.

And you can give me chapter and verse about fertilizer, fish, eggs, whatever. None of it changes the fact that kids' dirty shoes have no business where our groceries go.

That child might have walked through vomit or animal crap, and I don't want it on my countertops, table, or in my fridge.

"I had to do it when my kids were very small. One always ended up there———where was I going to put the child? The baby seat was already occupied."

I don't know. I had a conversation with a grocery store manager not long ago, and he said that the practice isn't only unhygienic, it's also dangerous for the kids....they're not supposed to be put there.

Has someone put that cat in a seat that is meant for a shopper’s baby to use?

Looks like Mango doesn't mind it a bit......

I did it 50 years ago when kids were exposed to all sorts of “dangerous” things,

No one cared and the kids did just fine.

Decades ago my dad kept a mouser in his grocery store. The cat got bored and would walk along the products on the top shelf of an isle, waiting for someone to come by with their cart. Then he’d leap down onto the shopper, scaring the crap out of them. LOL!

If you are owned by a cat or cats, as am I, your first thought is of your cat getting some messy baby germs!

The cat probably got up there all by himself. And he won’t hurt the baby. The baby might hurt him.

We own a cat — actually, he owns my husband — but I am particular about germs getting on the grandbabies.

Our cat actually wound up napping with the visiting 2-year-old recently, and I did not freak. But I would not be happy about having someone else’s cat near an infant in my care.

Yes, I have always been pretty cautious about cleanliness, gleaming surfaces, and so on.

Then I was cat-napped by a feral cat, and then the little buddy we brought in for him-—end of hygiene, end of sparkling floors and polished tables.

I am a willing if now sloppy servant, like a species of prey who is allowed to live provided I cooperate. Call it the Stalk-home Syndrome.
