[Publib] A Library Cat

[Bonnie Mendes]

I have to agree with Grace.  I am an animal lover -- I own three pound dogs, 
various amphibians, reptiles, birds, fish, the list goes on.  But for some 
reason, I am very allergic to cats.  A neighboring library has a library cat 
and the patrons love it, but I can not visit the library because of 
allergies. You need to think of all your patrons.
Good luck -- I would love to do this at our library, but I am sure I am not 
the only resident in town with allergies.

Please do not do this. I am horribly, dangerously allergic to 

cats. I could never visit the library if it had a cat, and when it 

got rid of the cat, it would be months before all the cat stuff 

were gone. I am not alone in this allergy, and it is far more 

common than you might think.
