In French, the word “bookworm” can be translated into the expression “rat de bibliothèque” (library rat). Well, I’m certainly not a rat (!) or a worm (!!) but I’ve always loved books! I guess that makes me a bookcat!
These pics were taken when I was about 9 months old, at my human’s Mom’s home. I was on top the book case. You can click on any picture of the gallery below to biggify and get to the diaporama but first I want to show you something.
Can you see the wallpaper peeling a little near the ceiling? It was me! I wanted to be a home decorator at the time! And can you see my tail? That’s because my human thought I wouldn’t be a good home decorator! The nerve!
You will be able to see that on several pics I am watching my piece of art very proudly!
Speaking of books, my human and I will review a wonderful book on Thursday.
I also learned from Cat Wisdom 101 that April is National Poetry Month. It will finally (I say finally because this has been a project since last December!) be the occasion for a book giveaway linked to poems, drawings and… kitties of course! And this will be on Caturday!
So I wish everyone a great week and hope to see you all on these two days especially!
Careful you look like you was going to fall off
Me? Never!

Were you removing items that shouldn’t be on the bookshelf by any chance? :D
Me? Nerver!
MOL!

You’re no rat! We think bookcat is the perfect description :-)
You take being a “tree dweller” to an entirely NEW and much more intellectual….level!
Texas you look like you’re up so HIGH! I bet you felt like king of the hill on top of that bookcase didn’t you….! I love books too except when my Mom’s reading one and I want her attention….then I have to try and take a chunk out of the book before she’ll pay any attention to ME ME ME!
Kitty Hugs, Sammy
MOL! I know exactly what you mean! My human has been trying to read several times yesterday and everytime I “helped” her read ;-)

I think you did a fabulous decorating job. As you say, the nerve! Not surprised your tails wagging like that. Humans can be so hard to train. I just adore the pics of you lying on your back and playing with your tail.
Awws what adorable pictures! I love the one where your back with your front paws curled.My kitten boo does the same thing.
Cute pictures!
Great memories indeed!! Sure, you are an adorable bookcat!! Your skills as decorator are less obvious :-) Hugs and love!!
I would have made a great home decorator!

What fun Texas, youz king of the castle up there :) Have a wonderful day xx00xx

You make a great book cat! Our previous cat, Boo, used to sleep on bookshelves too :)
The peeling wallpaper was the first thing Mommy noticed. Hahaha. She had a bunny years ago who loved to add her artistic talent to the walls…by trying to lick off the paint!
You certainly did love being at the top of the bookshelf!
oh you are a bibliothécaTire :o) I like books too… they are yummy, but I always eat only the last page :o)
You look sweet Texas on these pictures. I do love books too (but I am certainly not a bookworm), especially when they are open so I can have a nap lying on them. Purrs!
Eheh! Me too ;-)

Hey Texas that is some pawsome DIY there pal. Have a marvelous Monday.
Best wishes Molly
Did you do some dusting while you’re up there? :-)
As Edward Gorey said, “Books, Cats, Life is Good.”

Great pictures, Texas! Cats & books go together always.
Purrz!

purrfect bookcat! ;-)
Those are great photos and such a cool place to hang out!
Thanks for the shout-out to Cat Wisdom 101. We like learning new things from you too and that last photo is priceless!
We enjoyed your decorating!!! Or should we say redecorating!
That must have been an awesome place to hang out. Humans NEVER appreciate our decorating – they are design-challenged.
Each photo of you is more adorable than the previous one. That was a great place to hang-out. Happy Earth Day! Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
Bonjour,
Je suis arrivée ici en venant de chez Eirwena.
Je suis une jeune demoiselle chat qui habite le sud de la France.
J’ai à peu prés l’age que tu avais sur ces photos.
Tu étais super craquant ( maintenant aussi bien sure..). J’adore les photos couché sur le dos en train d’admirer ton oeuvre.
J’allais oublier, ma bipède elle comprend super bien l’anglais, mais elle dit qu’elle fait trop de fautes quand elle écrit…. alors elle le fait en français. Mais toi tu es un chat français.

Wow, Texas, you make a great sculpture high on that bookshelves :)
oh, we hear you on the tail wag! you look pretty annoyed. honestly. why can’t humans leave it to the professionals? I mean, I worked so hard on their leather couch, shredding it ever so gently, and did I get a thank you? a tip? No. I got a face full o’ water from a spray bottle. well. that was the last time I tried to offer her any aesthetic aid, but I did go out to the vegetable garden and “rearranged’ a few things.

Great pictures of you, Texas! In Spanish, bookworm is “ratón de biblioteca” sort of like in French, but mouse instead of rat
Texas, you look so adorable looking up to that piece of art you made.
Wow, Texas–I think you coulda had a fantastic career as a decorator! I have done a little decorating in my time, but never on the wall! I’m gobsmacked! You did a great job.
If the boxes do not work you make a great shelf cat!!!
Un petit coucou du dimanche Texas
Chat et livres, que du bonheur !
