In this episode of Cat's Brain Snacks, Catherine welcomes special guest Franz to talk about two of her favorite subjects--kitties and bookstores. They also discuss their background with cats--the ideal pet and one of the most fascinating animals on earth. A comfortable, homey bookstore makes the purrfect home for a fluffy feline (or two, or three). So support your local bookstores--and pet the kitties while you're there!
