They actually took the bars out of the turnstiles last year because of covid (so hundreds of people wouldn’t have to touch them, especially at shift change when they’re all coming in at once), but I would still gladly pet a kitty to get through.
(Normally they would just open the employee entrance doors when the shift was coming in and people would swipe their badges to go through the turnstiles, but they changed it so everyone has to tap their badge on the reader outside that opens the door so the system knows they came in, and to get to the turnstiles you pass a temperature scanner. They still keep the doors open during the rush and I’m sure it takes longer since there’s only one reader instead of the 5 turnstiles inside, but at least everybody’s not all touching the same surfaces. Also that way there’s one line coming in which probably helps keep people further apart, and makes sure the temp scanner gets everyone. I don’t know how useful that really is at this point, but they’re still doing it, so…)

Yes yes yes. I would happily pay extra for the privilege of petting them.

Mostaccioli’s baby picture about killt me–the mustache was as big as her wee face!
Toffee and Commander and the sausage walk make me so happy. Love the smart turnstile kitty too.
The polar bear photos turned everything up to 11. Unbelievable pictures. They’re reminding me it’s time to re-enjoy the adventures of Lyra Silvertongue.

I hope the polar bears get something from the garbage the humans left behind. They seem to like being inside the buildings looking out the windows.

Have those bears been sharpening their claws on the building? I mean, I’ve seen the damage a little cat can do…
Turnstile kitty is smart…can’t swipe your card without giving chin skrtiches in the process!
Polar bear pics are beautiful and haunting.
Turnstile kitties should be standard in all places where there are turnstile!
I agree! We have turnstiles at work…
I have turnstiles at my job, as well. They could certain use the addition of kitties.
