Kniga Koshka: Russia's Cat Librarian (with Bow Tie)

Shelf Awareness

Kuzya, an official assistant librarian at the Novorossiysk Library in Russia, is a cat who also knows that "bow ties are cool," Buzzfeed reported. "The story goes that Kuzya wandered up to the library one day and decided it was a nice place to live. But there are restrictions about keeping animals in libraries--no matter how stylishly you dress them--so the staff had to petition for Kuzya to get a 'cat passport,' which is, hilariously, a real thing. Kuzya, not content at being just a normal pet cat, was recently upgraded to the title of  'assistant librarian.' "
