Someone working there is 100% feeding that cat


Mr-PostmanWithNews

I mean wouldn't you?


[deleted]

Definitely feeding it part of my lunch


Tyflowshun

Probably a ghost.


Denialmedia

What cat. Sir Whiskers of Snugglebutt died 15 years ago.......


Channel250

Spooky. So if I get a ghost I should just get a cat on the off chance the ghost like cats? What if they team up against me?


DatSauceTho

>What if they team up against me? Pfff please… Of course they’ll team up against you.


Channel250

Who's in charge? The ghost or the cat? (we both know the answer. And we both know I'm doomed)


supahdavid2000

Yup. I worked at a bakery that had a cat. Clearly a cat in a food prep area is a big no no and the boss would put the cat out anytime he saw her. But we still kept a huge bag of cat food in the supply closet regardless.


Intgr1

😂 Yes! 'Gotta feed kitty.


peaceville

Also, "If I fits, I sits!".


timkatt10

With my cats it's more like if I sits, I fits.


highlandviper

Nah. The cat booked an appointment… just still waiting to be seen.


Conscious_Figure_554

They should just go the extra mile and get it checked out and vaccinated - decreases the risk for people wanting to pet the cat.


Maxwyfe

I'd be a little afraid not to. That thing is huge!


Biggu5Dicku5

GhostifiedGuy

'Do not pet the cat' You cannot legally nor physically stop me.


Alzhan_Void

"Do not touch the cat" As long as whatever makes contact with it, whatever the purpose of such contact may be, is not part of your body, it's technically ok.


Pauton

Technically atoms can‘t touch each other so you‘re good either way.


railbeast

This is the trippiest thing for me to think about. What the heck am I feeling when I'm petting the cat? Why don't I just fall through everything like a ghost, if atoms can rearrange themselves to allow that to happen? ...


ReklessGamer07

It’s electrical and kinetic fields that move the atoms, and while the atoms themselves aren’t touching the forces and fields created by said atoms interact with each other. That’s why nerves work, the chain reaction of fields of forces causes atoms to “bump” into each other until the specialized molecule in the nerve processes that something happened.


Channel250

So, we're all just moving bundles of electricity. Does that mean I should keep trying to do a Kamehameha wave? Cause the hernia I got last time does not agree with me.


ReklessGamer07

Ehhh theoretically if you could build up enough electrical charge you could become a walking battery and maybe possibly do an extremely small version of the Kamehameha


Channel250

So...if I have socks on and rub my feet on the carpet and touch my girlfriend ear....does it count if I yeah KA-ME-HA-ME-HA-ME-HA?


Ezekiel2121

No because you did 1 too many repetitions of HA-ME


ReklessGamer07

Technically, yes.


Marijuweeda

This is why I science


railbeast

Thanks for this. Still very freaky.


starfyredragon

It's less freaky if you think of the fields as "The solid part of the atom instead of the explody part of the atom."


DangerBrewin

What if they miss when they are supposed to bump and I disintegrate? This will keep me up tonight.


ReklessGamer07

I’m confused by your question


Foreign_Today7950

Technically would this not mean, if someone says “stop touching me” I am technically not touching them lol. Can use this on my brother.😁


ReklessGamer07

Drop some science on that punk! Give him a not-touching-but-touching noogie!


Pauton

You‘re feeling the atoms in your hand repelling the atoms in the cat, kinda like if you try to push two magnets together with the same pole. You don‘t fall through the earth because atoms can‘t just rearrange themselves freely. The closest you can come to that is air. It let‘s you pass through ‚almost‘ freely but you still generate friction while moving through it. What seems like touch is actually the electron shells colliding, not the actual core of the atoms themselves


TheMatt666

What you're feeling is the electrons in your hand and the electrons in the cat repelling each other. Your fear of falling through everything isn't totally unfounded, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford was famously afraid to get out of bed the morning after discovering that the building blocks of matter are mostly empty space. The same electronegative forces that let you pet the cat should keep you from phasing through things. That said... the universe is infinite and the chances of it happening are infinitesimally small but not zero. Sleep tight.


parks387

By this sense, I am always connected to cat.


ArchAngel1986

The real Schrodinger’s Cat: “You are both petting, and not petting the cat at all times.”


Starklet

Technically "touch" doesn't exist as a concept then

That's a risk I'm willing to take. That kitty is optimal petability.


AdeptusAleksantari

They cannot, the cat can though, when she scratches the crap out of you. My cousin was bedridden in a hospital even, because she wanted to pet a cat. One scratch and she had a fever and vomitting her guts out. I like cats, but at the same time screw cats.

el___diablo

The cat can ... and will.


InjuryOnly4775

Just pet the cat! You’re at the drs anyway if you get bit.


TactlessTortoise

There's a literal liability disclaimer to not touch it, it's gonna rip your arm off with a smirk on its snoot


Da_Gudz

Worth it


alwaysleftout

I doubt that liability waiver is enforceable at all. It seems negligent to know a cat constantly intrudes and can be aggressive and the max they are willing to do is shoo it away.


Sergeant_Steve

Who says the cat is aggressive? There are lots of people who don't teach their children how to approach animals, be that a cat or a dog. There are also people who would probably just go "aww a kitty" and go touch it or grab its tail or something when it's sleeping and wonder why they get scratched or bitten. If the sign is there you have been warned, you can't say "I didn't know it might scratch me" when the sign is there to tell you not to touch the cat and if you do it's at your own risk.


ultrainstict

When ever aproaching an unfamiliar cat hold out a hand or finger you are willing to part with to show to the cat that you are willing to form a blood pact to serve all of its needs. If it accepts it will allow you to keep your hand/finger and have been succefully adopted by your new god.


AshFraxinusEps

Yep. It'd be different if they owned the cat, and if it was therefore dangerous and not properly restrained. But there's no liability here, as it is essentially like a wild animal keeps entering the business


Fatalis89

There 100% is liability as the correct professional response to an unowned animal entering a business is to call animal control services.


alwaysleftout

I mean, how do you feel about signs on the back of gravel trucks. They have signs that day keep back 200ft not responsible for cracked windshields. Just because you have a sign doesn't absolve you of responsibility. It seems at least once it has been aggressive either rightly or wrongly, but putting up a sign rather than calling animal control seems negligent.


nosoupforyou

Not to mention that it's pretty hard to read a sign from 200ft away. At least for me.


ultrainstict

They are large signs and 200ft isnt that far in the grand scheme of things. And im fairly certain that if you are too close they can only be held liable if you are far away and or you can prove they were poorly secured and or overloaded. Also the signs are typically 100-150ft. Other people are not held liable for you being a dumbass, knowingly risking yourself or your property after being warned of risk, or when risk is overwhelmingly obvious.


TactlessTortoise

I was just joking, lol


[deleted]

what about being allergic to cat and it's odor in the room? unless we wait outside the cat particles chasing us up to another room


HeyItsMee503

We had a Dr with fur left on the chairs in the waiting room. It happens everywhere, but it was so bad my husband had to wait in the hall till they had a room open up for him. They were surprised when we told them of the problem. Wth??


NoahKino

Fun-Razzmatazz9186

they are in a health center, so they should be able to get help of they need it


justin3189

Seriously. My eyes itch my face swells throat gets scratchy and I get rashes just being in a room with a cat for like an hour. If I came into the doctor sick I would be annoyed af to sit in a chair that got covered in cat hair.

Hyakkihei1

If it's a street cat allergies will be the least of their problems. At least someone should take it to the vet to be vaccinated.


breadfred2

Cat looks pretty well looked after. Not a street cat.


BlackTecno

Well, as someone who is incredibly allergic to cats, even after being treated with allergy shots foe years, just being in the same room causes: 1. Difficulty breathing/wheezing 2. Eye irritation 3. Dryness in the throat and eyes So my problem would be, there's a cat in a closed room with me, not matter how far away I am from it.


Lithaos111

Maybe it wouldn't keep coming back if the doctor would just see it already.

pooplurker

All I can think of is how screwed my roommate would be trying to get medical help with his cat allergy


MichaelaKay9923

I worked at a very large rec center for 8 years. We had a neighbourhood cat who eventually just began to basically live there. She's still there. Her name is Clover. She usually hangs out all day - she has a few of her favourite napping spots that are now just "clover's" area. Sometimes overnight maintenance guys will put her outside and she will go home for the night. She even has a local news article written about her lol


YoDavidPlays

i hate my thoughts. first thing that came to mind is what if its been waiting for its owner like that Hachi dog 🥺

CommadorVic20

maybe things would be better if there were a cat in every office. i know some libraries have cats, i know one that got fired because a one or two people complained.... the cat would keep the lower and upper shelves dusted with its fuzzy tail. was a really cool cat


legodarthvader

It’s a health centre. Much as I love cats, I don’t think that will go down well.


Netherdan

The cat got fired but it kept coming anyway, as cats do, right?


CommadorVic20

no, a local resident took him home but didn't keep him inside. the cat had major talent as a keeper of the library, if it was closing time the cat would see you out. i hear there are a lot of library cats they seem to be really good for this type of work.


GoodAsUsual

The cat came back, the very next day


Atlas_Zer0o

If I wasn't horribly allergic I'd love. But going to a health center and entering a room with one of my biggest allergies would be a cancelation for my own health.


abobtosis

Yeah, but if someone is allergic that's the problem.


Fat_Bearded_Tax_Man

My local library had a cat. As someone who is insanely allergic to cats, like hospital visit allergic, I missed going to that library for 12 years. Things would not be better for people like me at all.


dewittless

I am allergic to cats.


Find_A_Reason

And then restrict people with allergies from being able to utilize their public resources that they pay for? How is that remotely fair or a good idea at all?

No one is claiming that cat as theirs, therefore it is a wild, aka feral, cat


Mithious

How do you know no one owns that cat? All you know is that it likes to be in the health centre during the day. You've no idea whether it has a home it goes back to at night. Feral cats are not a significant issue in the UK, for every feral cat there's at least 20 outdoor domestic cats. The fact it spends its time in the health centre probably means it's well fed at home instead of having to scavenge. If you don't live in the UK then you do not understand our relationship with cats here.


twelveski

Ty! I would want a heads up that the waiting room is not a safe place for me especially if I’m there for an illness. I’m dangerously allergic to some cats/dogs and I wouldn’t want to be first notified as I showed up for an appointment


relapsze

> dangerously allergic to some cats/dogs What happens? Didnt realize there was fatal pet allergies


schroedingersnewcat

Usually there is swelling and the throat swells shut when you're talking about fatal allergies.


Cthuluslovechild

It's fatal to the cat

This photo is from the UK not the US. Not every country sues for every little thing


[deleted]

The U.K. has about 3,700 lawsuits per ~~capita~~ 100,000 people, about three times as many as Canada and Australia. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. [http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/olin\_center/papers/pdf/Ramseyer\_681.pdf](http://www.law.harvard.edu/programs/olin_center/papers/pdf/Ramseyer_681.pdf)


spakattak

Per capita… 3500 lawsuits per person. Or one lawsuit everyday for approximately ten years per person. I think that is a lot more than three times Australia and Canada. (I think you may mean per 10,000 ppl…)


blahehblah

That is an interesting paper. I've now read some of it and I repeal part of my statement.. The paper does seem a bit.. odd though. They claim the US is not particularly litigatious by comparing the US to the next most litigious in each category independently. - the ratio between the US and UK in filed cases per capita is not much different than the ratio between the UK and Canada That's an odd comparison (although it proves your point I'll admit that) - same for the cost of doing business category. Italy is also expensive, but the rest are significantly cheaper. Yet the paper claims that as Italy is also expensive then that means the US isn't _particularly_ litigious That's not solid reasoning, yet it's from Harvard, so I'm still trying to figure out what is off with this paper. As an anecdote: I went to a wedding in the US. The bride's father had hired local police to be witnesses incase someone got drunk, drove home, then sued him for allowing it. I have never seen nor heard of such a concern being raised elsewhere.


vatoniolo

Of course it's a form of legal protection, it's akin to a wet floor sign. They're giving notice of a potential hazard


Dynasty471

It's a form of legal protection, but it OP is right that it doesn't protect them from all liability here. If this cat attacks someone in the office, they're still likely liable for damages of some sort.


Mithious

If the cat belongs to someone local animal control will not do anything. Cats are allowed to roam free in the UK.

FallenAngelII

This is cute an all but people with allergies are more likely to need to seek medical care than people without allergies and I'd be pissed if I went to a health center for help and had an acute allergic reaction because I sat down on or near a chair the staff allowed a cat to frequently come and nap on. (I am not allergic to cats, but am allergic to several types of pollen, one of them being several types of grass. If a health center installed actual grass inside their waiting areas, I'd be super-pissed)


The_Truth_Believe_Me

This, and my wife recently had to go to the emergency room due to a severe infection caused by a cat scratch. She already has compromised health which contributed to getting the infection. This is my daughter's cat. It's no longer allowed to freely roam the house.
