We live right next to town and there's a doctor's surgery at the bottom of our street so she used to sit outside it and got plenty of attention.
She went missing in march and I enquired at the surgery. The receptionist flung her arms open and said "you're kitty's mummy!". That's when I found out our cat goes in the surgery all the time, since they got automatic doors. I was embarrassed and apologised, but the staff in there love her and said it was fine.
We often see her in there as we walk past and we go in and get her. Last week, when H went in, the receptionist said she needed to have a word with him. Turned out a patient who was allergic to cats had a panic attack when she walked in.
So now the practice manager wants to stop her coming in and they asked H if we had a catflap (we do and she uses it all the time). They've fitted an ultrasonic repeller and I called in today to see if it was working, but she's been in 15 times today! They've got a sign on the door asking people not to let her in, but some patients have been telling the receptionists off for throwing her out as she's really loving and will sit on their laps and they love it.
They're not being funny with us (one of the receptionists absolutely loves her and I imagine is ignoring all instructions to discourage her!) but I can't see what we can do and think they're partly to blame for encouraging her in the first place.
I just hope the practice manager doesn't take it any further.
