Booksellers were celebrating International Cat Day yesterday with social media posts featuring their bookselling feline staff members. Among the highlights:
Powell's Books, Portland, Ore.: "To be a bookseller's cat means always having a box to sit in and a book to read (or knock off the shelf, depending on the mood). Celebrate #internationalcatday with picks from some of Powell's feline friends. Which cat captures your reading vibe?"
