Cat library

CNN.com as an article about a “library� in New Mexico that has no books
but it does have a number of kittens. The “cat librarian� is actually
the receptionist. Any employee can check out a kitten and take it to
his or her office. The hidden agenda is that they hope kittens will be
adopted. And it works! So far, more than 100 kittens have found
permanent homes.

I saw it last night. Dunno how much work one would get done with a
cat snuggling on the keyboard, but studies show that petting an animal
lowers blood pressure, so what better way to spend one's break time?

So you're saying that they sneakily want to collect overdue fees.

When you say "any employee," do you mean any employee of the library?
If so, what do they do other than lending out kittens?

I love the idea of "checking out" a kitten. I've used my local tool
library, but this is a new one.

The article did not give any substantial information, except that it was
clear that this is a government office building. It sounded like there
are a large number of employees and also that they encourage members of
the public to adopt. This is not an actual library. It was called a
"cat library" because cats are checked out, not books.

OK, I see. So the people working there actually have something to do
besides lending out cats.

Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good
many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia.
