We've got a cat coming into the library; he lives two houses away. He began by hanging around outside the front (electric) doors, greeting everybody who approached, and I mean everybody. He is the most friendly cat I ever saw, but he never came in. One day it was lovely and warm out and I set the doors to stay open; he came inside. Apparently it was the movement of the doors which he didn't understand, but now he's got it and he's in a lot.
He is just darling, and uses the library as a napping place - we don't give him food.
As far as I can tell, his people bother with him very little - he's on his own a lot. Most of us here enjoy seeing him, but the last two library cats both met their ends getting hit by cars on this busy street. I wish they'd keep him inside.
oh this is precious! I wish our library would have a cat - maybe I'll show your post to the librarians :)
ReplyDeleteHe's a handsome kitty - I love tabbies.
We used to have one at the library where I work and I still occasionally lobby to revive the practice. ;) SO far, no luck, but I keep trying... Now, if only one would just walk right in...
DeleteHe is such a sweet boy. He photobombed our filming session this morning!
ReplyDeleteEvery library needs a cat...or two... xx
ReplyDeleteAwww, he's just precious. He must be lonely. It's nice that the library lets him come in for a visit. :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, he is definitely lonely, Anne. We couldn't really keep him out (if we wanted to) - he'd just come in when the doors opened. But there are a few cat lovers among us, so we like to see him.
DeleteLovely cat! xx
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of a library cat. I wonder if he was asking people to let him in, before the doors were finally left open.
