And me!
Out of the way, dog!

They had a special closed-off "cat suite" of a few rooms where the non-aggressive house cats could roam and socialize uncaged. It had wood floors and junk furniture and cat-towers for them to lounge on and destroy. There were perhaps fifty cats residing there that I could see. The employee said "sit down if you dare" with a grin: immediate twelve-cat pile in my lap.

I hope the door to the restroom latches. My cats never let me go in without them.
