    … I don’t work with customers and that’s exactly how I deal with by coworkers.

    And people I randomly meet throughout the day (including eg employees at a store).

    For me these are just rules on how to deal with humans.

    Now if I see a cat that’s a completely different story:

    • I’ll maintain eye contact (and blink slowly),
    • give them my full name and address for purposes of visiting,
    • will accept headbutts,
    • will actively agree with their meows & acknowledge just how right they are,
    • will apologise when I eventually have to leave,
    • will thank them for their time (with some more pats),
    • will live in the knowledge we fully understood each other in our little talk.

    Additionally I will vow to visit again.
