Bookstores?[edit]

I noticed we don't have a page about cats in bookstores, for which it seems there are a few reliable sources ([1][2][3][4][5] to start). Would a section here be a good place for this, or perhaps a different article? a13ean (talk) 15:34, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Israel?[edit]

Armenian flag is on the table.188.123.241.153 (talk) 17:54, 14 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Herodotus[edit]

I deleted the mention of cats in Ancient Egyptian libraries. I checked Herodotus's History, Book II, but the famous section about cats does not mention cats in libraries at all. If anyone find Herodotus's description about Egyptian library cats in some other parts of his work, please write it with the proper citation from Herodotus and the detailed bibliographical information.--saebou (talk) 08:54, 18 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
