Also as cat-lover and curator I ditto everything everyone else said.  I
think if offices and collection areas are separate where the cat won't end
up wandering around your Chihuly, or upholstered anything, it might work out
great!, plus, they can be a great indicator of ineffective pest control (or
a part of your pest control!)


Anyway - for those wondering about typing and computers, etc. check out this
hysterical product! It detects kitty-typing and then produces an offensive
noise!
