Watchcat Collette is generally fine with being petted during guard duty, provided you don't obstruct her vision--or pet her when she's in the mood to bite people:

Nothing comes between Watchcat Collette and her toy mice, as she demonstrated earlier this month:

Watchcat protocol MMCDLV

It was difficult for visitors to tell what Watchcat Nemo was thinking in June 2008...

In December 2008, Watchcat Nemo's expression indicated, "Visitor, I just don't know about you:"

Watchcat protocol MMCDXXXVII

Dimming the lights didn't prevent Watchcat Sylvia from monitoring her assigned sector in October 2010:

Watchcat protocol MMCDXXXVI

Most watchcats appreciate having their chin stroked in recognition of a job well done:

That was true for Watchcat Lily on October 16, 2025.

Watchcat protocol MMCDXXXV

Only authorized visitors were allowed to nap on Watchcat Rosie's guard post bed in October 2003.  Furthermore, Watchcat Headquarters only permitted this when Watchcat Rosie was awake:

What to do?  Watchcat Sammy milled over possible responses to a security issue in September 2010:

Watchcat protocol MMCDXXIII

No one walked off with anyone else's shoes on Watchcat Rosie's watch:

Watchcat Headquarters praised her for being on top of her game in October 2006.

Watchcat protocol MMCDXXII

Watchcat Headquarters asked Nemo to enforce this rule in June 2011.

Watchcat protocol MMCDXXI

If you were in her assigned sector on October 6, 2024, Watchcat Lily kept her eyes on you:
