Wholesome Whiskered Readers: Brilliantly Bookish Cats Delving into Timeless Tales

We here at ICanHasCheezburger have always loved reading. Curling up in a cozy reading nook with a cup of tea is exactly our cup of tea. Especially when we have a fluffy feline to cuddle with while we cozy up and dive into the story. Turns out, that some cats love reading as well! Who would have thought? We are not the slightest bit surprised that these book-smart cool cats enjoy reading classics. Cats are a sophisticated species with a penchant for the finer things in life. 

From To Kill A Mockingbird 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. 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 perfect as this collection of cute cats reading classic books. Have a great day, pals!
