Library cat laps up Christmas spirit

CATS IN THE STACKS
We are going to make it, I think! There is just one more day of school after today for me and for Alex, this is the last day before his vacation starts. Tomorrow SnuggleBunny will get to be Head Library Cat for a day.
Alex has been busy the last couple of days. Yesterday he got a really close look at his TWO Christmas stockings, which are hung alongside one each for Piper and SnuggleBunny. They are filled to the brim with toys and treats. Hope held him up to take a good long peek and sniff and she reminded him that all the goodies have to wait until Christmas.
He tried on Big Footsie’s stocking cap and looked like he had “settled down for a long winter’s nap” as his eyes closed while Mary petted him. (more…)
