(I was stocking things in the animals department when a woman walked up to me carrying a bag of cat litter that read “White Cat Litter”. The litter in the bag was white.)

Customer: “Excuse me..”

Me: “Is there something you need help with, ma’am?”

Customer: “Yes, I was wondering if my tabby could use this litter?”

Me: “Well yes, I believe so, unless your vet has specified a certain brand?”

Customer: “No, no. I want to make sure my gray tiger tabby can use this. It says ‘white cat’…”

Me: “I don’t think it matters what kind of cat you have, ma’am.”

Customer: “Even though he’s not white?”

Me: “Well, since grey is just a darker shade of white, I think it’ll be okay.”

Customer: “Great! Thanks so much!”
