MEOW

According to the U.S. Humane Society, 39 percent of households own at least one dog and 34 percent own at least one cat. I'm in the 34 percent of households that own a cat (or does the cat own me?). I'd be curious as what the statistic is on offices with pets. My office has 2 cats. We adopted Molly and Lily from the Westerly Animal Shelter this summer. I went there to adopt Lily and couldn't resist bringing home Molly, her crate mate. Molly and Lily have taken on somewhat of a celebrity status and clients will often look for them when they come to visit. It's not unusual to find one of the girls on a client's lap or snuggled up in their coat. (Yes, we always ask to be sure a visitor isn't allergic or whether cats are not their favorite creatures).

Having multiple owners really is having it all in a cat's life. Multiple owners means more attention, more toys, more playtime and more treats. In my office, being an office kitty, also means more windows to look out! As for me, it sure is nice being greeted by two furry faces when I walk into the office each morning. The Bailey Agency in Groton has a big fat office cat named Mr. Bailey so I know I'm not alone with the cat in the office idea. And I know there is at least one bookstore in the area with an office cat.

Ok..so what does any of this have to do with real estate? Well, except that we have cats in our real estate office, absolutely nothing. That's the nice thing of having your own blog. :-)
