I had a doggie named Max. He had bat ears. We called him BatMax. He died over two years ago. Now I miss Max.

Not your fault, obviously.

Upblessing BatMax

That grammar is concerning for someone who works at the library.

Max has always been in the library.
Max will always be in the library.

Knowing my inattentive ass I would have read that sign after happily letting max into the library.

WHY would you not want Max in the library?

because you’re no fun and don’t want to install a proper cat door.

He relentlessly hassles the librarians over their “woke agendas.”

I’m afraid I can’t stand for this.

Guards. Make sure Max doesn’t enter the library under any circumstance.

Right, keep max in the library, even if he wants to leave.

No, no. Keep max out of the library at all times.

We don’t have to do anything other than keep Max in the library.

Out of the library…

Oh, I remember. Can he enter the library with us?

Instructions clear, have filled the library with cats not named Max

I wonder what Max did to get banished from the library.

Meow at the door until someone opens it, then not go outside and go back to sleep on someone’s reading material.

Talking to people loudly?

Solid possibility.

Max has left the library. Max has been saved.

Yes, probably, but I want to think in my mind that it was something super chaotic and daring, like a furry super-villain.

Typical cat just knocking things off shelves - the library is an inexhaustible playground.

This could honestly be a 90s kids cartoon. Every week Max has a new plan to get into the Library, with the intent of knocking books off the shelf. And every week, the mean librarian has to try to stop his plan.

What do you want to do today, Max?

TRY TO GET IN TO THE LIBRARY!! 😼

Ya know, I was trying to avoid the Animaniacs tie-in, because I thought it was a little TOO on the nose…but yeah, I totally imagined him in that animation style.

People are commenting to let him in the library but the way the letter is written doesn’t suggest the library owner owns the cat

Don’t let your cats roam. Especially if you don’t want them places they shouldn’t be. It’s irresponsible and there are mountains of data on why it’s bad. But an anecdotal one from me, I live in a c complex in a residential neighborhood, where we often see roaming cats. We also see them dead after they ingest poisoned mice from nearby businesses, and get eaten by coyotes which are not uncommon around here.

Aside from that, it’s just terrible for the environment and ecosystem.

Meanwhile Max is decimating the local bird population, and risking getting hit by cars.

Please note that this is not a global problem, and that keeping a cat indoors is also not a solution - just don’t get a cat then.

My cats are perfectly happy indoors cats.

I used to work in the ER years ago in a small community hospital, and this neighborhood cat had figured out how the automatic doors on the ambulance ramp worked, and would slip in behind the paramedics and go curl up in the triage chair and wait for patients to come to the window to say hi. She also made rounds of the neighbouring nursing home and hospice on a regular basis.

More like farming them.

Tend them and care for them so they grow big and strong. You only want to pluck them when they are perfectly ripe.

kinda what psychopomps are for, yeah.
