StarTelegram: Over children’s petitions and voters’ protests, the City Council has voted to fire Browser the library cat.
But the book-loving feline may yet have another life. His friends and fans vow to take his future to voters in November, forcing an election if necessary on whether the library can keep its six-year reading mascot.
Declaring that “City Hall and city businesses are no place for animals,” Councilman Elzie Clements led what Browser’s fans call a sneak attack on June 14, ending in a 2-1 vote giving the former shelter cat 30 days to find a new home.
What kind of cold hearted bastards don’t like library kitties? They’re well mannered and extremely fluffy to the touch. [purring not included]
Mohammedans consider cats clean, so who is really behind this nonsense?
If I was in Texas Id gladly take him 🙁
You can mail him to me.
Get rid of the council, keep the cat.
Ignore it. Does this resolution (or whatever it’s being called) have the force of law? What will this City Council do? Fire all the librarians? Close the library? Wanna see torches and pitchforks?
this has got to be an onion article…..there’s no way in hades a town could keep the name “white settlement” these days……
oops…..my bad……from their .gov page:
Welcome to the City of White Settlement, a community rich in its Native American history. The name of White Settlement was original (sic) bestowed upon the community by the Indians. When much of the territory was unsettled, the area became known as the “white settlement’ because it was inhabited and settled by non- Native Americans, or “the whites”, later many of the roaming Indians settled down in the area and the name continued.
B Woodman, your comment makes me think of Elian.

So. They will deport a cat.
But not a muzzie.
This is some modern world. Years ago, I recall reading about a cat that had wandered into an elementary school in Los Angeles one morning. He caused quite a sensation among the students and staff, then disappeared after lunch. Having liked the reception he got, he came back the next day, and every day that school was in session for years. He was the school’s mascot; he was named Room 8 in honor of the place where he was first spotted.
Room 8 had free run of the entire school. All the students wanted to feed him. People would write “fan letters” to the school; there were always students clamoring to answer the letters for extra credit in writing. Room 8 was the subject of both a book and a television special.
Those people on the City Council should, in Fur’s words, have their nutsacks clipped with rusty hedge trimmers
Like many city governments (Seattle in mind) theft and murder persists while they focus their attention to a cat in a library. Not one of them are worthy of re-election.
They are libturds. There is no other explanation you need.
Fracken libturds!!!!
Keep the attention away from their stealing and perfidy …
Is it really possible that these bureaucrats have nothing better to do?
izlamo delenda est …
Only some kind of sick homo would reject a sweet pussy like that.
😉
MeOW! How catty!
Saucer of cream with that?
@Dadof4: Only if it’s homo-genized.
