Cats have strong personalities that enchant and engage, and it turns out there are many of them living in every reader's favorite environment: the bookstore. With personalities and histories as varied as the books they tend, each cat has a story worth telling. Collected here are their tales, along with enchanting photos of the feline employees in their shops.Most bookstore cats are famous in their local communities, many have been featured and profiled in entertainment outlets, and some even have their own books and social media accounts. Now, for the first time, some of the world's most beloved bookstore cats are collected together in one adorable directory, making the perfect gift for cat lovers, book lovers, shoppers, and the generally curious worldwide. Aside from keeping a bookseller free of mice, these noble creatures become part of the fabric of their environment and, while they chase away the mice, they lure in the world's cat-loving readers.
2. The Secret Life of Hodge, the Bookstore Cat
Description
The life, loves, and seditious intentions (Cat Power!) of the cat who works at Selected Works Used Books and Sheet Music in downtown Chicago. Hodge, who claims to have been born litter-trained and fluent in three languages, understands written and spoken English. He has taught himself to type on a computer keyboard, which he uses when he wants to communicate anything complicated to his humans, which is often. He also keys in YouTube videos of popular songs that he fancies, and rewrites the lyrics along more cat-centric lines. Hodge often takes a dim view of the customers and of his and the bookstores long-suffering owner. He is, however, surprisingly protective of mice, and, after an epiphany resulting from something he overhears one day at the bookstore, fish. His relations with the two lady cats in his life are more problematic, partly because he describes each of them to the other, without giving it much thought, as my girlfriendshes a pain in the ass. With 38 watercolor illustrations by Argentinian artist and psychotherapist (Hodge could use one) Beatriz E. Ledesma.3. Total Cat Mojo: The Ultimate Guide to Life with Your Cat
