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, 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.

This book brought me to tears. [Dewey].
I finished a few months ago, and it just occured to me to see if the interview mentioned in the book had made it on to youtube.
I have 6 cats and love them very much [though not as much as my dogs...] and I named one of my hamsters Dewey.
