12 Bookstore Cats - Neatorama

You'd be surprised at how many book stores across the country (and probably around the world) have cats living in them. It makes sense -people who enjoy books usually enjoy cats as well, often at the same time. In this mental_floss article, you'll meet a dozen of the many bookstore cats who have their own fans, locally and online. Pictured is Asimov, resident cat at Seek Books in West Roxbury, Massachusetts. Link

In Rio de Janeiro, there's a bookstore called Beta de Aquarius famous for its siamese cats Isis and Osiris. They sleep on the bookshelves most of the time, and are always willing to receive a belly rub. You can see them both here: http://virtur.com.br/VR360LivrariaBetaDeAquarius/enter_02/

There's a book store here in Montreal that has two cats. Across the street from it is a new age store which also has two cats.

I'm not into new age stuff, but I've been to that store just to see the cats. :)

There's a privately-owned "record shop" (they only sell CDs, but "CD shop" doesn't sound right) in my town that used to have a resident cat who would sleep on top of the CDs.

I am a voracious reader and also have a severe allergy to cats (and dogs, and rabbits, and all other furry animals). So many small businesses that I would love to patronize have resident pets, which not only prevent me from entering the establishment but also purchasing anything from them.

Worst part is, I *love* animals. I would be ecstatic to go to a bookstore and cuddle with fuzzy bundles while reading. Oh well.

Ah, I love bookstore cats. Wonderful post!
I do have to wonder though, what about people who are allergic to cats?
