Stormy has lived in a general store in Alaska since 2012. A complaint just got him evicted.

A cat who has made his home at a general store in Homer, Alaska has been evicted. Officials notified the store owners that their cat is violating the food safety standards since food is served in the store.

Stormy has lived at Fritz Creek General Store since 2012. He’s a slightly overweight black cat who spends his days lounging on wooden chairs and asking the customers for head scratches.

Jeremy Ayers, program section manager for the State Food Safety and Sanitation Program said his agency received a complaint. Since Stormy was in sight when Ayers arrived to investigate, the cat was evicted.

Store owners Sean Maryott and Diana Carbonell haven’t commented on Stormy’s predicament but Sean’s sister Bridgette says Stormy will live with her and her family.

Homer is a small town of under 6,000 residents. Residents often came in the store just to visit with Stormy and offer a head rub. Losing the store cat could hurt the business financially. Not to mention the store could become less sanitary because Stormy, being the resident cat, took care of any rodents who ventured inside.

  2. That: IMG_20181003_074443.jpg – is no use to me whatsoever. You need to provide a full URL (link) or upload the photo to a comment. Secondly your name Aplopon Verreaux has all the signs of being fake. It really does. A Google search produces nothing. That’s highly unlikely. So you fail the comments policy again. And it proves that you need to hide your true identity. Feeble.

  4. The comment rules for you (a troll) are that you have to disclose your real name and supply a photo of yourself. You have done neither. Therefore you can no longer comment. Go away and stay away. You’re an unpleasant, arrogant bully.

  5. The arrogance is yours, Sir. You cling to double-standards to ‘justify’ your obvious bias, while hypocritically accusing others of bias. Sorry, your opponents back up their arguments with facts. You predicate yours on hubris and sanctimoneousness, seasoned with the occasional tantrum/emotional meltdown.

    IIRC it was No’am Chompski who pointed out that hypocrisy is best defined as holding others to a higher standard of conduct is expected of oneself. This describes you perfectly.

    Now, I’ll make a prediction: you lack both the courage and the integrity to even post this, let alone attempt to refute it. Try to prove me wrong–I dare you.
