Bookstore Cats

Nietzsche, my favourite bookseller, died on Monday. 😔 He was a total sweetheart who not only ran a bookstore* but raised lots of money to help homeless cats. I‘ll miss visiting him whenever I‘m in Chilliwack.

He‘s on the cover of the tagged book, too. Little dude was an icon.

*okay, so his people helped a little bit.

Books and cats...clearly go together. I brought home a large book haul today from the thrift store, because clearly my book-buying ban is a farce. Bandit was less then helpful, and clearly being a curious cat. He climbed in and out of bags, knocked over my piles, and bit me because I wasn‘t petting him.

Riveted_Reader_Melissa That‘s one great and opinionated cat! Obviously you bought the books for him, just for the bags of course, anything for the bags. 6y

Melkyl @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Yes, he is very confident and rules our house! All bags and Amazon boxes are just for him 😂 6y

Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Melwilk same at my house, those books, they are just box/bag packaging to mine...like the peanuts and air bags, take them out of my new box toy already! 6y

emilyhaldi Bandit is named well 😜 6y

rubyslippersreads 😹😹😹 6y

CouronneDhiver Ha! Must be a black kitty thing... my Stella always does that too 6y

Melkyl @emilyhaldi He is a Bandit all of the time. He steals chapstick, pens, etc...pretty much anything left out on any flat surface. 6y

Donated some books to the library for their sale. Sure they‘ll find good homes.

E.Shaver Booksellers (Savannah, GA) Bartleby (top) would prefer not to; Eliot covers your shirt in fur before you get it home.

My aunt sent me an article about Nietzsche, my favourite bookstore cat, who made the cover of the tagged book! Nietzsche works at The Book Man in Chilliwack, BC, in the Fraser Valley, and you MUST go visit him if you're ever close by. He's a total sweetheart, and when you use your own bag at his store you get to choose a charity to donate to. Coincidentally, Nietzsche has a range of tote bags with his image on them.

JoeStalksBeck I love cats and Nietzsche and cats named Nietzsche!❤️❤️❤️ 7y
