Unless Im mistaken, owning a cat is not illegal. and I would have kicked the cat out anyway. Steak likewise is not illegal (same for clipping posts) and in moderation steak does no harm. However at the moment, in the uk anyway, drugs are illegal. Maybe there is a difference. Allen

I have worked for companies that felt this way, and I see a lot of this sort of thinking, and it always bothers me. Some quick examples: My cat decides to meow at me all night, waking me up throughout the night. I show up to work tired and have cat footprints on my forehead. Does my employer get to insist I keep the bedroom door shut? After work I like to go home and enjoy a nice steak, all hot and tasty off the grill. Yum! My employers' insurance company decides that mandatory cholesterol screenings would be a good idea, as healthy employees are lower cost to the insurance company. They see my numbers and now I'm under the at least implied threat of losing my job unless I submit to their ideas of healthy eating. Why? Because now my personal habits have become a potential financial liability. ... to empower employers with this sort of authority over private aspects of your life is never a good choice, as your employer will rightly base their policies over what is best for their business interests. To voluntarily give up your free will is foolish, to accept the loss of your free will as a condition of employment is akin to volunteering to be a slave. No thanks!
