I wouldn't recommend too many cats maybe one or two. Someone would surely have to take on the responsibility of the company's new mascot, making sure there's food and water on the weekends, changing the litter, etc...

If you work in a place with a number of employees, you have to be sensitive to the fact that they might be allergic or don't like cats. Cats in the workplace are very soothing and give a little color as well. There is nothing nicer than a bookstore with a "shoppe-kitty". I would poll your employees first, you might end up with a Pandora's box on your hands. If all seems well and there are no medical concerns (ie. alergies, pregnancy, etc) go for it!

Cats and animals in general make people happy. I do think it would befit the employees as long as everyone likes cats. We have an office cat at work and I love him as well as everyone else does.

You know, lower one employee's blood pressure and give the another one hives. And as much as I love my cats, they do like to climb all over my keyboard, and if I were trying to work instead of playing on yahoo, it would be very irritating. Unless all your employees are quite fond of cats and definitely not allergic, this may not be a good idea. Fish are also supposed to lower blood pressure and stress, and I don't think anyone is allergic or fearful of their presence, plus they're less upkeep and no training...maybe you could put in a big fishtank instead! It might be more appropriate for the workplace.

They are stressful, with their stinky litter box, cat hair everywhere, hairballs, and vomit. Plus, my cat just likes to sit right in front of the computer so I can't get work done.

However let me ask you this: Do you have a lot of computers with wires? if so, this is a bad idea. You don't want your network to go down because the cat chewed through your cable.

Also, make sure you have someone to take care of them on weekends if no one is around. Only if no one is allergic to them and everyone likes cats.
