The Return of Cat Tuesday

**Insert Trumpet Fanfare Here**

I've returned and so has Cat Tuesday. This week we recognize the tireless cats who work in Delis and corner stores keeping the rodents at bay. These felines stalk disgusting rats and mice and all they ask in return is a little cat food and a saucer of milk. The problem is, not all cat workers are appreciated by health inspectors. According to this article any animal found in the vacinity of food to be sold for human consumption is a health violation.

Consider the story of Junior, a marmelade kitten who was tasked last year with clearing a store of rodents. Sure Junior brings the dead carcasses as gifts to his employer. But that's better than dead carcasses rotting under the freezer.

As for the health violation, I'd take the animal I know about (the cat) any day over the one I don't (dead rat rotting under freezer.)
