Update: Browser the cat can keep mascot job at Texas library after puppy ordeal

[TexasTowelie]

Cats rule, dogs drool.

Ousted library cat Browser will keep his longtime library gig in White Settlement, Texas, thanks to a change of heart among city officials.

A landslide 3-0 vote Friday ruled that the beloved feline can stay at its home of six years following outrage from the local community — and internationally — demanding Browser stay put, according to the Dallas Morning News.

Browser was at risk of losing his home living among stacks of books at the suburban Fort Worth facility, where he also poses for an annual calendar and lounges on computer keyboards.

2. K&R! Wonderful news!

This lawsuit or whatever it was made no sense! So glad the kitty can stay in his home. The power of the internets!

3. Browser vindicated! The mayor said he would've put the question of Browser's booting to

city residents in a referendum, had the city council not come to its senses.

Browser's world renown and star status put the city council in the hot seat.

4. All because some entitled asshole city worker couldn't bring a puppy to work

So (s)he started a petty spite campaign to kick Browser the cat out of his home. That asshole deserves not only to be kicked out of his or her home, but also to be named so we can direct our anger at the right source.

5. Time was...

any place that stored large amounts of paper had a cat on the premises to keep the mice and rats down. They love chewing on paper and leather.

6. That was the original reason Browser was brought into the library. A mice problem.

7. The good thing is Browser never even knew he might be losing his home.

But the person who started this whole kerfuffle ought to be demoted.
