Gosh, I had no idea! Seemed like every business had a resident cat. I only see this tradition still in practice in Athens. Bring back the shop cat!

What a delight to see these much-loved companions. I have just had to retrieve one of ours from the garden, during a thunderstorm, that was hiding under the patio table with a huge puddle underneath! The things we do for them.

I do hope that you are giving consideration to a new feline companion. There are so many in desperate need of a good home. A house isn’t a home without a cat.

Thank you for these photos of working cats. I loved the affection so clearly shown by the people around them.

I have a new cat now, Rosie. Her mother was rescued by my daughter one fall evening last year–turned out the cat was pregnant with five kittens. My daughter’s office friends adopted all the kittens, and we took Rosie, a beautiful tabby. Our Dachshund-Cocker-Spaniel’s middle-aged life is now much more interesting. I had almost forgotten how wonderful cats are, until Rosie moved in.

Just stare at a cockney cat for more than a couple of seconds and you’ll be offered outside for a little chat

I love my pampered indoor cats and was talking about them to my parents yesterday. Growing up in the 30s and 40s they both always had cats, probably as mousers as they lived in old houses in London. They mostly only came into the house to eat whatever leftovers or boiled up fish heads were put out for them.
