    I saw the library cat thing this morning, but I don’t think the story I saw included this detail:

    “We take a lot of honorary cats,” Homer said. “Any ungovernable animal.” 😄

      I loved that comment. But personally I wish libraries were all still quiet spaces. It drives me crazy to hear the noise that goes on in libraries today.

        Me too, regarding the noise.

          Ditto. I grew up during the “shushing” years. It was hard to suppress the grade-school giggles- especially after being “shushed.” I would love to do some shushing today…

        Its not the noise that bothers me, its the homeless population that live there.

        Understand that they have a right to be there and they can’t be kicked out but its unfortunate for everyone involved.

          I had a dear friend and neighbor who worked in the local library in a Kansas town. Parents would just dump their kids off, expecting the staff to provide free babysitting.

            You. Are. Kidding.😳
            Sometimes I am just AMAZED at the audacity of some people!

      Also: The local NPR affiliate, WBUR, described it as a “never be-fur tried initiative,” and urged patrons to hurry and “act meow.” So far the response, WBUR said, has Jason Homer, executive director of the library, “feline good.”

    That library program is great. I too loved the “ungovernable animal” line!

    gaaa those tiny kittens! They’re fabulous.

    • 6Rabbits March 5, 2024 / 10:15 am

      ?
      Check out the dog’s eye! Seems a bit concerned to me😉 Those kittens are absolutely adorable. Yay for blood donors!

    Regarding baby crocs:
    “One time, I had somehow taken like 10 of them home, and I hid them in my room .
    Later that night, my mom came in and asked me why I was playing Space Invaders…
    Needless to say, we had a talk that night.” From the comments😂

    Baby croc sounds made my day.

      Really! Amazing!!

      • Ricky & Bibi's Mom March 5, 2024 / 2:57 pm

        Extraordinary. Who’da thunk it?

    • DEBG March 5, 2024 / 10:13 pm

      I would never have expected Pew Pew Pew.

    Look at that face, I just want to plan a big kiss between those gorgeous eyes.

      He looks snarky. I like it.

    Nick and Shakira and their understanding humans have warmed the cockles of my heart.

      “She obviously has a thing for goth guys.”

      I get it.

    • DEBG March 5, 2024 / 10:14 pm

      It’s a beautiful love story. I’m so happy for everyone involved.
