Cats Who Read: 15 Book Smart Felines Who Love Diving Into Classic Stories

Hey there pals, reading anything good lately? We here at ICanHasCheezburger have always loved reading. The way a story develops and takes us to a world completely separate from our own, we love that. And especially when we have a fluffy feline to cuddle with while we cozy up and dive into the story. Turns out, some cats actually love reading as well! Who would have thought?

We are not the slightest bit surprised that these book smart cool cats enjoy reading. From To Kill A Mockingbird all the way to Catcher in the Rye, cats know a classic when they read one, and they sure do love to cozy themselves up in between the pages for extra effect. Some of them even enjoy hopping up onto their humans' book shelfs and falling asleep amongst the cornucopia of good reads. We hope that you enjoy this dose of cuteness, that it brings you a little joy this morning, and that the rest of this day is as pawfect as this collection of cats reading.
