A Cat Was Fired From The Library And Immediately Rehired #funfact

To solve a rodent problem at the White Settlement Library in Texas, the librarians brought in a cat from the local shelter; 6 year later White Settlement Town Council passed a motion that said the cat had to find a new place to live and leave the library within 30 days.

Cat gets kicked out of a library in Texas.

Some dude in Guam: "This is fucking horse shit."

"Beloved cat to keep his job at the library after international backlash" was such a powerful headline.

Imagine losing a campaign because you tried to get rid of a library cat.

Councilman: You've got to go.
Cat: Reverse Uno

"as well as from Germany, Australia, Malaysia, Guam and England" holy shit that cat went international

I love that humans in general so quickly decided that firing a cat from a library was such a serious mistake that he was actually reinstated less than a month later

He forgot that people like cats more than they like politicians😂

When you try to remove a cat from a library and instead the cat removes you from your job.

He underestimated how bitter people get when you try to take away their whimsy and tomfoolery

I just find it hilarious that the dude essentially went like, full cartoon bureaucrat villain on it and walked away with the equivalent of "I'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME BROWSER! NEXT TIME!" even after getting owned by the entire world for trying to remove some silliness

If humanity can stand for anything
It will be defending either the domesticated or wild animals

Imagine an international community saying that they like a cat more than they like you.

There is a tool shop that has a cat. The stray cat just came in one day and was welcomed by the staff. He came everyday for weeks and somebody made him a reflector vest with a staff ID. The worker who sees the cat first has to put the vest on the cat. After closing they pick up the cat and let him out again. He comes almost everyday and people are so hyped to see him in his little official vest and ID

Honestly, I can't even get mad at Clemmens as someone who both loves libraries and has severe cat allergies despite how much I love cats

Imagine you try to get a cat out of a US government building and people from Malaysia and Guam start sending you hate mail.

I love how a community having a single adored pet makes it practically untouchable

I remember this. It wasn't just local, it was every where. Elzie was actually exposed for a lot of other things during this and he was swiftly defeated when trying to get reelected.

white settlement is such a funny name for a place in texas
