Bookshelves...

are not meant to have empty spaces. This is Henry, my mother's spare brain cell.

Ha, NorasMom ! Adorable 😸

[falalalala]

He's cute!

Ah, so much to send to the floor! Cats are so good at clearing surfaces. Unfortunately, they don't do floors.

as soon as i open a book, my cats run up to it and start rubbing all over it to make it smell right. and if i put it down for even 10 seconds, one of them will come sit on it...because books are not for reading, they are for rubbing and chairs😹.

The cat is cute but I like your nativity set, too

[Amore55]

Oh, they do love books!

[CatsandCars]

He's beautiful! Maybe you should explain the one brain cell theory? Although I have not found orange cats to be dumb! 😁

[NorasMom in reply to CatsandCars]

My kids have just been sending me a lot of memes about orange cats only having one brain cell, and Henry sadly fits that description. 🤪 He's an adorable idiot.

[CatsandCars in reply to NorasMom]

Sorry, the idea (as my son explained it to me😁) is that all the poor orange kitties are sharing only one brain cell between all of them. When they do something dumb, it's supposed to be because some other cat is using the brain cell that day. Maybe Henry will smarten up as he matures!

as a librarian I agree that no library is complete without a 🐈

[bookish in reply to RomCom87]

preferably the 'library lion'....one of my favourites

Looking at my bookshelves, I do see a couple places one of my cats could fit. But just the skinny one! He's grey. Perhaps he'd dust???

[CatsandCars in reply to mrsmike9]

Maybe if you made a little room...😊

[mrsmike9 in reply to CatsandCars]

I still have stacks on my bedroom floor!

[bookish in reply to mrsmike9]

Me too! And everywhere else possible.....

[NorasMom in reply to bookish]

Well, yeah. Bookshelves are never big enough!

[CatsandCars in reply to mrsmike9]

I actually switched to ebooks ten or fifteen years ago, so it isn't too bad for me. But I feel like you can never own too many books!

[mrsmike9 in reply to CatsandCars]

I have a kindle but like ALL books. A true bibliophile! I listened to one and finished it just yesterday that is now on my Christmas list as an actual book. It was wonderful! Once Upon a Wardrobe was everything and more.

[CatsandCars in reply to mrsmike9]

Sounds familiar! I have bought both ebooks and actual books of the same title.

Thanks for the tip. I will have to check out Once Upon a Wardrobe! 👍

[mrsmike9 in reply to CatsandCars]

Do you like The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe? This one marries right along with it and has CS Lewis himself if the book.

[CatsandCars in reply to mrsmike9]

Absolutely. And I read The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis a long time ago.

That sounds great, thank you for telling me. 📖😊
