The Weird But Funny: Browser The Cat Who Was Fired From His Job At The Library

The library originally adopted Browser from the animal shelter to help it deal with a mouse problem, Blackburn told The Huffington Post. But the animal soon became a quirky fixture of the place, with an uncanny ability to detect if someone is a cat person.

“City Hall and City businesses are no place for animals,” said council member Elzie Clements, according to the Grizzly Detail. Mayor Ron White spoke in favor of keeping the cat, as did eight audience members. And a petition for Browser remaining had more than 600 signatures. (Since the story has been in the media, a second online petition for keeping Browser has emerged.) But the council nevertheless voted 2-1 to boot Browser, giving him 30 days to find a new place to live.

That makes his eviction date July 14. However, White wants the council to reconsider the decision at a meeting scheduled for July 12.

Neither Clements nor Paul Moore, the two council members who voted to get rid of Browser, immediately replied to a request for comment.
