Cindy,
For the purpose of full disclosure - I
like animals and have had over the years several dogs, cats, sheep, a goat,
chickens, etc. That being said, it IS unprofessional
to have a cat in your office. Your
office should reflect your organization and your mission, not your personal
likes or comforts. (If you work at a
Living History – farmstead, etc. – site where the cat has access to the outdoors
and you don’t have a collection to worry about that’s a completely different situation. Who would be happier having the cat locked up
in an office – your staff or the cat?

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] 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?
