It was 21 years ago, on a very cold morning, Mary opened the library in New York. She heard a cat cry and found a white cat in a pile of books at last.

Mary recalled, “His little feet were frozen, we gave him a bath to warm him up and he purred(咕噜叫)all the time.”

It was a Cinderella story for Garfield in 1988, the cat who has lived happily among the books ever since.

“His story has a life of its own,” Mary says while reading the cat’s fan mail. “We have people drive hundreds of miles out of their way just to see Garfield. We even had a Japanese public television crew come here to make a short film of him.”

Shortly after the cat’s rescue, a photo of the library’s “new employee” sitting on the card catalog appeared in local newspapers. Local people were invited to help name the cat and many cast votes . “We have never had such a big crowd for a contest and there wasn’t even a prize,” Mary says with a laugh.

Garfield grew from a popular local “library employee” to a national star with his pictures on calendars. However, he is not the only cat who lives among books. Library cats greet people in about 100 libraries across America. Most live and “work” in comfortable, small town libraries where they don’t get lost in the books. Library cats used to earn their keep by catching rats, but modern library cats have more “white-collar” duties: to act charming and make the library a pleasant homey place.

“Library cats just create a nice, warm atmosphere,” says Roma, producer of Puss in Books, the film about library cats. “The cats attract children to the library and the elderly who maybe can’t have pets in their apartments,” Roma says. “Books, libraries, and cats just go together.”
