(noting that I am a lover of cats, and bypassing all discussion of animals in or around collections...) The cat will take charge. You will not need to worry about that decision. He/she will inform you of when feeding and scooping is necessary by doing all of the things you have tried to teach it not to do. They will pay for themselves, at least in the sense of office enjoyment, assuming no one is allergic. You will all become deft at shielding your keyboards from their curious attentions. Enjoy.

Do any of you have office cats? We are considering the adoption of one, and wondered what are all the ramifications. Does one person take charge? Who pays the bills? Who does the feeding and scooping? Cindy Boyer Director of Museums and Education The Landmark Society of Western New York 133 S.
