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,
