Dewey Readmore Books – Cats of Iowa
This is Dewey Readmore Books, now well known as the cat in the New York Times best-selling book of the same name. Dewey was abandoned in the Spencer Library’s book return, and became known far and wide as the Spencer Library cat. This video also profiles Conrad, Iowa’s town cat, Tom, also well-loved by the entire town after being rescued. This “Living in Iowa” archived video originally aired in April of 1998 on Iowa Public Television. For more recent videos visit Iowa Public Television www.iptv.org

Anyone who has read the book will know about Dewey. If you haven’t read it…A word of advice… You will cry….

This, as other videos show, demonstrates cats can be the most lovable, affectionate pets on earth. I really can’t stand stories of animal abuse, especially sweet things like cats. We have a responsibility to treat all our pets with love, kindness, and respect. Remember to get your pets fixed, too. There are way too many strays living in misery because of uncontrolled breeding.

I got a few nice p m’s from the grandson of the man that owned that hardware store.I wanted to know more info about the cat ( how it died etc) but never heard back from the guy.He said things have changed in his hometown and the store was sold later.His grandpa and Tom are together again.
