I don't like that either. Cats go from giving themselves an all over bath to walking on the kitchen countertops where the meal is being prepared... Ughhh.

Yes, on our anniversary lunch outing to a rather poshy chateau restaurant, an older couple were seated at the table next to us. They had two very large (and pretty) dogs with them. The dogs were well behaved, but their owners - not so much so. They not only fed them from the table, they allowed them to swipe their tongues on the lunch plates - while owners were still eating their lunch !! Eeekk

I rest my case regarding my comment about some of the French and their table manners. It can be a disgusting sight. It's disrespectful to those who run and work in the restaurant too.

Animals living with you is not a problem it can be when it is other people's beasts in public places

Not that calm then?

I'll bet there are some things that you see in your life that you don't like or disagree with.
Have a nice calm day :D
