Kitty Bookend

I cannot condone it as a primary use for a cat, but as a cat owner, I am fully aware that "bookend" is within a list of feline abilities, alongside "paperweight" and "office chair warmer":



Found at Fark's Caturday celebration.

Misty On The Books

This, to the right, is Misty. She is about as catlike as a cat can get, but she doesn't usually sit on the steamer trunk in the living room. Wifey bought a bunch of children's book at a grade school auction last weekend. In unloading, several books got sat on the corner of the trunk. Shortly thereafter, the cat sat herself on the books, and remained there for a great amount of time, long enough for me to take photos, which is not something she generally sits still for. Note the open windowsill behind her: books were a far better seat than the couch, the windowsill, or even the table (which she's not allowed on). Sure, she can't read, but at least she's enjoying books somehow.

Fidel The Library Cat

Library cats are, by far, the best animal in the world to own. Need to get some research done? Send the cat down to the library to look it up for you. Past-due books? Tie them to his back. Fidel, on the right, stops in to his public library daily after his owners let him out in the morning. They go to work, he goes to the library, and when his owners get home Fidel checks out his books, pushes in his chair, and goes home for the night. Here in the U.S., libraries have to buy their own kitties, sadly. Via.

Spencer Library's New Library Kitty

The previous library kitty was Dewey Readmore Books, a ball of fluff that some jokester had dropped in the library's return slot. His rescuer penned a book, Dewey, The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World, but she never had another cat after Dewey passed away in 2006 — that is, until now. While driving, she discovered a kitten in the road and rescued her; the new kitty's name: Page, of course.
