Puss in books: Cat visits library every day

Library bosses in Kent say a cat has become their most regular visitor after sneaking in every day for two years.

When staff first saw the black cat walk through the door they tried to put him back outside, but as they turned around he ran back in again.

Soon they gave up at let him prowl the aisles of books, now he can often be found sunning himself in his favourite blue chair and is such a dedicated customer he frequently arrives before staff open up.

Fidel - an eight-year-old former rescue cat - leaves when he sees his owners get home from work or when they come into the library to collect him and take him home for his dinner.

The librarians think Fidel sits in the window of the library gallery so that he can see when his owners return to their nearby home ... either that or he is studying their cat-aloging system.
