But... what happened when someone else came along later, to dump more
book returns into the bin (and probably not thinking, "better be careful
here, in case there's a cat inside")? How did the kitty avoid getting
hurt by books falling on him? Obviously, he *did* avoid it, but that was
a risk someone decided to take for him. I still think it's a very *weird*
place to put a cat!

He is a magnificent looking cat, orange, long hair, big, dignified face.


Sounds gorgeous!

Dewey was found in the Book Return.

What kind of creep puts a cat in the Book Return??? (Or could the kitty
have gotten in there by itself?)

I used to work at a large metro library. You wouldn't believe what came in the
book drop. We always closed it on Halloween!
I do remember a cat loose in the library one morning, but the worst thing was
several pigeons once. What a mess.

I worked for a couple of years as a library assistant while I was an
undergraduate. We never had anything animate put down the book drop,
to my knowledge, but we did have a few books ruined when someone
poured a Coke down the book drop. The worst mess we ever had was
when the Metro Transit Authority sent in a library book that had been
found on a city bus. Someone had spilled a chocolate milkshake onto
the book, and it had then sat in the bus long enough for the milk to
go thoroughly sour. It stunk so bad that we couldn't even stand to
have it in the trashcan in the workroom. I had to take it to a trash
container outside the library building.

Ahhhh.

But when you work in an archive, sometimes stuff is like that, and you
have to keep it. It depends. Sometimes stuff is 500 years old
(although paper that old is usually very good paper, and doesn't decay
like mass-produced high-acid paper, which stinks as it decays).
But if the stinky milkshake was spilled by say, one of the Founding
Fathers, on a copy of The Federalist Papers--- or one of the printers
of Shakespeare's First Folio-- you'd be stuck with the sour milk
stink. It would become known to scholars as the Milkshake Copy.

And then there are all the molds and mildews that get into the stuff.

Here's a pic of Linus, not on the toilet but on the litterbox, but if you
look carefully, you will see that he has all his paws on the edge of the

box
(how it stays upright, I have no idea), just as if he is sitting on the
toilet. Warning! Deadly glare at camera! I shudder to imagine his face if
I'd tried to take a picture of him on the toilet.

Yep, that's Apache's way too.

And when the litter box isn't to her liking, madam will
pee in the shower tray (at least it's easily cleaned and
she doesn't poop there, like my friend Megg's cat
"Puddin")
