Blog Guy, you wrote recently that they’re starting to use cats for security jobs. Are other new uses being found for cats?
Yes indeed. Many people have started using their cats to do their grocery shopping.
Wait a minute. What do the supermarkets think of that trend?
They LOVE it! Now they can build stores with ceilings just two feet off the ground. In the Midwest, Cats ‘n’ Carts is the fastest-growing supermarket chain!
And there’s absolutely no downside?
Well, naturally some small compromises are required. You have to be prepared to have your cat bring home whatever he feels like getting, whenever he feels like getting it.
I can live with that. Anything else?
Yes. Most cats are hopeless with coupons.
There’s no physical required! Join the Oddly Enough blog network!

Oh crap! Next they’ll be driving our cars…No thanks! I’ll continue to let my dog chauffeur me around…
- Posted by MarspiA store with nothing but tuna would be purrfect.
- Posted by TimAh… I had heard Morris the cat’s genetically enhanced clone was easier to work with…
- Posted by BandageIf I saw this in the store I would have to paws and do a double-take. And if he bumped my dog with that cart it would be a cat-astrophe.
- Posted by TimWell, if my cat expects to go shopping…my cat better get his furry butt out and get a job.
- Posted by KYou’re kitten’ right? I’m caterwauling with laughter over here! Maybe a cat could purchase a catamaran, or a cattle prod or maybe even a book about how puns are for wankers and none of you are funny?
Please be less terrible.
