Library for Your Pet

A customer came in today and asked me where we kept our cat videos. He had a thick accent and I tried to verify what he was asking.

"Do you mean the musical 'Cats'?"

"No! I want videos for my cats to watch."

Now, I know these things exist but I don't think the library carries them and I have no idea how to look that up in our system. I mean, we don't exactly have a section for "Pet Videos." So, I referred the customer to our Reference desk.

He didn't like that at all and left.

Maybe next time he comes in, I'll suggest videos about fish.

hey, Keeper of the Diary! Am reliving my glory days with you all. Would love to hear who suggested you close up shop on the blog. So glad you haven't; I'll keep reading because I miss it all so much ;-)

They aren't that great. You need a steady cam for intense long hours on a chipmunk picking at its teeth or something to interest a cat.
Um... yeah... I checked some out for my cat.
