It had been a while since anyone had asked me any questions about cats. I had forgotten how many people thought of me as the Office Cat Woman. Sure, I had many pictures of cats at my workstation but I had gotten used to seeing them everyday and no longer noticed that I was probably the only person on the floor who had so many animal pictures on their desk.
Working away this morning, I heard someone say behind me, “What cat should I get for my daughter?”
I spun around and saw one of the managers behind me. He asked me what breed I would suggest getting for his young daughter. I came up with the Siamese, Burmese and Tonkinese. “They are good with children because they like interacting with people but because of that, they are not good on their own so if you were to get one of them, you would need to get two,” was my explanation.
The manager said he wanted to get a Russian Blue. He asked me if I knew about their suitability for children.
“I don’t know but I can find out for you as I have a cat book at home that gives a child friendly rating for each breed so I can look it up for you if you want,” I said. The manager thanked me for my help so guess what I will be doing tonight?
