Dewey the Library cat


Just finished a book called Dewey - The small town library cat who touched the world.

An amazing story about a cat in America who was abandoned as a kitten in a library drop box... adopted by the library staff and lived at the library for 19 years becoming famous in the process... a really lovely story about a very funny, cute and clever cat.. one of those feel good books that you find very difficult to put down...
here's the website if you want to have a look at the story

I read about that story in one of the cat magazines that I get and it was a lovely tale, I bet the book like you said is an amazing book.

Re: Dewey the Library cat


it was a fabulous book Leesy... apparently they are going to make a movie about it in the next 12 months... Meryl Streep is involved in it allegedly...
