Let us have the pleasure of introducing you to our bookstore cat, Nietzsche. Mellow and up for pets at ANY time of the day, our beautiful furry boy was adopted from a local animal shelter, Safe Haven, in May of 2008. His name was decided on by vote by the store staff.
He is, without a doubt, the perfect bookstore cat. He isn't phased by anything, and loves children. He loves his routine, waiting patiently for us to brush him after his breakfast every morning, and is most annoyed if we ever stray from it. You'll likely see him waiting to see who is coming through the door, sleeping on the front counter in everyone's way, or curled up in a chair in the front window.
Bring him a treat or a toy! Come give him a pet! Or, wait for him to come and sit on the book that you're trying to look at until you pet him. What can we say? He's a man who knows what he wants. He loves strollers, so don't be alarmed if he follows you around like a dog begging for a ride.

"Zzzzzzz......."
This is Nietzsche's favourite pastime. |
"Huh? What? Where?" You may be lucky enough to wake him up, but enjoy it while it lasts! |
"Anyways..... zzzzzzz"
Like I was saying... enjoy it while it lasts! |

"Faster!" |
"I was SO set up!" Okay, so WE stuck the teddy bear there... but seriously? AWWWWW! |
"Wheeeee!"
Nietzsche loves his chair rides! STRANGE! |

"What are you?" He was more curious about this visiting dog than anything else. Fear? No fear here! |
"Take me for a ride!" Any given opportunity for a ride is swiftly taken advantage of by our dear furry Nietzsche. |
"I'll help you with that." While we organize and shuffle books, Nietzsche enjoys the temporary sitting space. |
