Alert reader Ellie gave me a juicy news tip that I simply must share with you. Ellie told me about the Purr-n-Fur website in the United Kingdom featuring fellow felines residing at libraries. This is great news, especially since the apparent demise of the Iron Frog website.
Here is the Purr-n-Fur URL for American Library Cats.
There are two listings for Hoosier public libraries and their resident cats:
- Tober, to whom you've already been introduced in several of my previous blog postings, and whose Purr-n-Fur listing is on this web page; and
- Miss Peabody, former posh spokesfeline for the North Manchester (Indiana) Public Library.
Miss Peabody retired from NMPL in 2008. According to her library web page, she is now (or, at least, was hoping to become) a lighthouse keeper's assistant in the Forty Mile Point Lighthouse.
Purr-n-Fur has hyperlinks to the site's other web pages featuring library cats from the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe.
I wonder if Purr-n-Fur would include a listing about moi? Won't hurt to try, I guess. Minions, make with the petitioning emails.
Thanks again to Ellie for alerting us to this wonderful library feline website.
Plenty of Purr-n-Fur to Go Around,

P.S. Thinking about the U.K. and felines, I was reminded of "Lucifer Sam," by Pink Floyd, from the album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967).
