Cat Fancy Magazine featured 45 Amazing Library Cats in the February 2010 issue. Now, everyone should know that a list of Amazing Library Cats wouldn't be complete without me.
So I looked in Cat Fancy Magazine. Much to my disappointment, I was not #1. (I really don't understand why, either, since my AB and AABs seem to understand that I'm #1.)
I was not #2. . . or #3. . . or #4. By the time I turned the page, my tail was beginning to droop and my purr was weakening. Still, Amazing Library Cat that I know I am, I read on.
I was not #10 or #20. I was forming a letter to the Editor of Cat Fancy Magazine (who I thought should probably change careers) in my head.
But my reading paid off! I am #42 on Cat Fancy's list of Amazing Library Cats! I am famous! I didn't even have to TRY to get on the list. . . they came to me! It was a wonderful (and well deserved) surprise!
I immediately commanded staff to put up a display in my honor. They did okay, although I was expecting a bronze statue like the ones for the Secret Garden:
Just so no one gets overly excited, please note the paperclip on my photo. It is there for a reason. No offense to that other cat, but people need to know who's who around here.
(Ooh. AAB Christine just said something about now my head won't fit through my Litterbox Door. What does that mean?)
Tail up & motor running,
The World-Famous Amazing Library Cat,
Tober

Congratulations Tober!
It would be an outrageous thing if you'd been left off that list Tober.
All libraries should have a cat like you.

Wow Tober that is so cool! We are going to have to go out and get a copy of it, in case we are ever down in your area we can get your autograph on it!
Tober! Congratulations! Our mom gets Cat Fancy and has the February issue...but she hasn't read it yet. We saw on the cover that they were featuring library cats and we wondered if you'd be in there...now we know!! That's so cool!
Congratulations, Tober! We think you are a wonderful and now world famous library cat! Do you get extra treats for that? ;-)
Your fans,
Charlemagne and Tamar
I saw you in there and that is how I found your blog... and starting keeping up with you all the way from MI... I think you should be number 1 anyways because I have a soft spot for Orange cats!
Congratulations!! We do not get that magazine, but maybe mum will pop out to the store and try to find it. :)
You are so famous!!
WOWZA! Are you going to PAW-tograph copies of Cat Fancy at the library! You should, you know, you really should☺
That is fab news Tober, but we think you deserved to be #1, 2, 3 and 4!
you are a star.
Wait a minute...you were number 42?! I should have thought you'd be number 1. After all, you're the only library cat in the cat blogosphere!!
Sorry we haven't visited in a while, Tober. We just got our February issue of Cat Fancy so will check you out, although we agree that you should have been right at the top of the list! After all, you're famous in this house, and this house is in France!
Concatulations Tober!!! You are number one in our book!!!!!!!!!
SUPERSTAR--that's what you ARE, Tober!! I need to find this issue and take a looksee! Hmm. I still think your head will fit in the litterbox. Where does your staff get that idea? :)
Congrats!

Congrats! I know you're disappointed about not making top cat, but at #42, you share the same # as Mariano Rivera of the NY Yankees, the greatest relief pitcher EVER! That's some good company. : )
Congratulations Tober! You are such an important kitty!
OMC! There is no end to your fame, Tober! Concats!!!
You are famous! Oh Tober, you are my #1 Library Cat for sure!
