Meet These Delightful Bookshop Cats (and One Dog!)

They like to lie directly underfoot when we’re sitting at the checkout desk. Unlike previous cats, they don’t seem inclined to attack or bat at people they don’t like. They will perch on our antique spiral staircase to the basement, eyeing the activity below. They’re reluctant to move from these vantage points even when someone must get up or down. Surprisingly, the underside of the staircase’s base is one of their favorite nap locations, despite the tromping of customers and staff up and down.
