It’s no secret that used book stores tend to have cats roaming around. That’s because cats and literacy seem to strangely go together. That’s why if you read books, you should get a cat.

Reading may be a solitary activity, but you can make it more enjoyable by holding a cat. Cats won’t judge what types of books you read and they won’t even mind if you laugh out loud or weep at the plight of the characters you’re reading about. Cats will simply curl up in your lap and keep you warm so you can enjoy your book in peace. Best of all, cats will help you feel more intelligent by encouraging you tor read more often so they’ll have a stable place to snuggle for long periods of time without moving.
