I have posted bookstore cats before, but never Library Cats. Once again my favorite site, Flavorwire, has posted photos of Famous and Fabulous Library Cats. I'm posting two, but be sure and check them all out.
TLC (Top Library Cat)
TLC (Top Library Cat). This kitty lives at Broken Bow Public Library
in Nebraska. The library is lucky enough to have a fireplace, where
TLC camps out during the chilly winter months. Notice he's reading Lilian Jackson Braun. He likes cat books!
Sir Eli
Eli is a fluffy Ragdoll cat (with a resemblance to my own Barclay). He
hangs out at Los Robles Elementary School Library twice a week
to keep watch over the kids. He's a total marshmallow, docile and
tolerant of tiny hands. Eli can often be seen in the school nurse’s
office comforting sick children. Owner, librarian Marily Barsaleau, also
takes Sir Eli to hospitals and hospices to charm patients.
Our cat is shy. If she were a library cat, she'd hide behind the books.
ReplyDeleteI love the way Sir Eli is holding the page for the girl. Maybe libraries could have a read to the ct program the same as for dogs. Lovely photo.
ReplyDeleteAs a lovrr of cats and books all of my life I wonder why I haven't heard of library cats before. The two go perfectly together! Thanks for the warm post and great pictures.
ReplyDeleteHimalayans would also be wonderful cats for small children, as they are incredibly accepting, docile and layed back. Our Oliver has been the best cat growing up with my daughter. He allows pulling of his tail, endless petting of his fur and just loves to be around people. Such a great breed.
