“Feline libri”? by rhoing

“Feline libri”?

It seems that all the best used-book stores have a resident feline. To beat the three-digit temperatures (about 40°C), I took my brother-in-law and twin nieces to a used-book store in town that I have never visited. After this, we went to see
• “Chester” — http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2012-05-30
• “Frosty” — http://365project.org/rhoing/365/2012-06-04 and
• “Trip”
and Lisa took us “back stage” — with horse cookies that made the girls very popular — to meet all of the residents of the horse barn. Alas, I didn’t take my camera with me — gah!

Meanwhile, back at the Bookworm, one wonders if the economics books behind the cat above are what made him “soporific”…

I love when a store has a guard cat! Great security! ;-)

He looks so exhausted from reading all those books...LOL..
Love this picture...

Well, I know it would have the same effect on me, LOL

Yes....I know they'd put me to sleep! Haha. No offense! I am about to have twin nieces too! They are at least going to be here on August 23 if not sooner! They will be sme good photo ops! Lol

@ellen 'Bout like my students!

@russianblue Well, maybe no much security, but certainly an "Awww"-factor!

@moonshadow Thanks. Exhausted? Maybe. Or as Ellen said, just bored. ;)

@digitalrn No problem with me, Rick. My disciplines of math and econ tend to be "binary" as far as interest for a given person: either enthusiastic or bored/scared, but little in between!

@espyetta Good photo opps is right! Have fun, Aunt MaryBeth!

@michelleyoung I may be a geek with many of my electronic stuff, but I still like going into virtually all bookstores!

@cjwhite Thanks, Carolyn! A departure from my many "winged" posts lately!

This is such a sweet capture! Poor Kitty has been studying too much.
July 13th, 2012  
@angeliquenordal Au contraire! Poor Kitty hasn't studied enough to have a fire lit under him as to how important the study of economics is!! Oh, sorry. Up on my soap box again...

@rhoing ~~Did that sweet Kitty go to Yale or Harvard? Tell Tale sign considering the current economic climate.

Wonderful comp! So many books!

@marlboromaam Alas, this small bookstore is now closed. The owners retired and no one was interested in purchasing the business. We've had a spate of these retiring-owner situations in the past year. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@rhoing Yes, sad times for sure. I've had my share of seeing mom and pop businesses shut their doors forever. Hoping for better days ahead!
