(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.

Subject: office cats?
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?
