I'm a sucker for bookstore and library cats, and both the cats I've owned have loved books. It's only fair that on the week of Book and Lover's Day, William Shakespeare's birthday and Miguel de Cervantes' death anniversary, I'll combine two of my loves into this blog.
1. Need to step out of the bookstore for a minute? Get a guard cat.
