Yes, would you like to buy a book? by 0olong.

I for one would be in favour of more book shops being run by cats.

Lovely! :-) I've never managed to see any cats when I've been in that shop. Must look harder...

0olong says:

al - Heh! I've only been in two or three times or so, but I think the cat's always been there. :)

how - it is a quite magical little place, it's true. :)

Cheers everyone! Gandalf - to be fair, the shop is remarkably well-hidden; I'd never have found it if it hadn't been next door to Tchai-Ovna (which I'd never have found, either, if a friend of mine hadn't taken me there).

Trinlayk - the cat would recommend picking up any old book and sitting down somewhere with ready lap access... :)

Sure! Although... I know Flickr is big, but does it really need *two* groups dedicated to cats and books?

Yes,this is Boris the shop cat.....I work in the shop six days per week...The reason that you may not see him in the shop is that he is not really our cat !!!!! ....His real house is one of the mews cottages that are to the left of the shop.....He seems quite happy having more than one owner......We have recently found out that he goes also to one of the new flats on Otago Street where there are ladies who feed him...He has followed me home on several occasions but my own cat was having none of it and chased him for his life !!!!!

alcluith says:

I think I ran into him in "Retro" on Otago St. last week . He was very friendly :-)

0olong says:

Thanks for the background info, eagle! I appreciate that, it's good to know. Lovely shop you work in there! :)

Alc - I'm not surprised! He seems like a friendly sort.
Posted 26 months ago. ( permalink )

eagle stirreth says:

There is a cat who is like a bigger version of him ,(Boris),that hangs around "Retro" in Otago Street......This cat is known as Callum.....He will lie very unconcerned at the closemouth oblivious to the noise of Great Western Road....He is friendly and is used to people.....

BORIS! oh how i miss that cat :) going back up this weekend, will drop in and say hello :)

eagle: there used to be a huge ginger tom as well- boris' dad?
Posted 19 months ago. ( permalink )

eagle stirreth says:

The ginger tom was called "Trevor".....He disappeared one night.....From piecing various clues together I suspect that he was run over....We never actually found out what happened to him....But Trevor enjoyed his years with us.....You see,he was living in a house ion the South Side of Glasgow with a lady who would take in strays and unwanted cats....He did not get on with the othere cats,so he found a home with us...Little "Baby Boris" would wander in as a tiny little kitten,eager to meet another cat,steal some food,and get on Trevor's nerves.....But Boris has a great personality of his own....

KF 红相机  says:

oh no! i wish you haven't told me now :( poor trev :( he looked so happy in front of the wee heater on the floor.

yeah i remember boris when he was a wee kitten :) used to climb the tree outside tchai ovna and play with the bells and ribbons! used to delight us all :)

Heh, I've added it, but I have to say it's hilarious that it's now in three different 'cats and books' themed groups. :)

Missive Maven says:

I swear I searched for a "cat book" group, but didn't come up with anything! (Okay, I knew about the libraries and bookstores one, but I had something a little more broad in mind for this one.) Maybe it doesn't have the same keywords I think of. Also, I wanted one to include letters as well, since I've seen so many great photos of cats on letters also. Thanks for adding, anyway!
