A cat named Kitty is the subject of this snapshot taken at Shakespeare Books, a shop whose name nods to the playwright who still anchors English literature. Bookshop cats have a long history in the trade, often sleeping on counters or among the stacks while keeping watch over customers and shelves. The picture was shared on Flickr under a Creative Commons license by its photographer, austinevan. It shows the relaxed, lived-in feel many independent bookstores aim for, where an animal can seem as much a part of the shop as the books.
