Back to school: see 7 literary cats curled up with good books

It’s back-to-school season, and no one is happier about it than the cats. There is no better place for a cat to nap than right on top of the book you’re reading or the notes you’re taking. Forget your homework one day? Forget “My dog ate it.” Say, “My cat is sleeping on it.”
