Its great that @rte.ie filmed Nationwide out here. But, despite the Castles, the College, the Heritage.... there was no Cat. I assume there will be a sequel?

One group of people who you might not always see on campus are our fantastic estates people - gardeners, trades people but also cleaners. They do the hard and often hidden work - including clearing up a broken vodka bottle near my hut today. (not my bottle, I'm a whiskey cat). thanks!

Ok, so - halfway through the orientation week. Some stats: # of photos: 1,243 # of times I have been rubbed or tickled: 2,478.5 (the .5 is when someone went to, then got nervous - don't be nervous!) # of names given me: Seamus: 42% Paddy: 26% Library Cat: 31% "Sir Paw McMiaowington the third:" 1%

Ahem: herewith, a joke I did create: "I’m forever having to go to the orthodontist. I might as well have him on retainer”. (bows, takes in the applause)

Lest anyone think that I have been slacking off this summer. Clearly I am something more than just a magnificent mascot to a legendary library: www.linkedin.com/posts/peter-...

Lots of young(er) folk on campus today for Open Day. hello to all - but especially the good people of Oaklands, Edenderry and Navan in Meath. Nice to see the parents too. Dads - nice sneakers, you ARE down with the kids!

In 1819 the poet Keats composed a poem called "to Autumn". It's a lovely poem and you can read it in the library. However as someone who basically lives outdoors, can I point out that the line "Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun" just doesn't seem acccurate..

Lots of young Hoomans on campus getting accommodation. The KEY accommodation that’s really needed is me accommodating your desire for photos 😻

Just saying, lots of things rhyme with ‘cat’. (Not that it has to rhyme of course, I’m anything but DOGmatic)

Blue Monday is over folks. Onwards! (Just ignore the lunacy elsewhere. Which is easy for me to say- I’ll survive your global hooman folly 😹)

Getting REAL hard to maintain two social media accounts. There’s only so many hours in the day (that aren’t already accounted for with eating, sleeping and posing for photos)

Hoomans! The library is closing at 10 pm tonight and opening tomorrow at 9am. Stay warm. (Note to self: stay warm)

For devotees of the Julian calendar- Happy New Year! Use it as a springboard to change things up. But not too much. I myself intend to increase my nap time by 23 more minutes. Anything more would be decadent.

Happy Christmas! And fair play to David and others who have come to @maynoothuni.bsky.social to check in on the hoomans who are still on campus.

because my paws are padded it’s hard for me to applaud- but if I could I would be doing so for @allylouks.bsky.social And praise from a library cat is worth faaaaar more than moronic comments from idiots (over on the other place- not here- it’s nice here). 🐈‍⬛

Ah you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the light until I was already a cat adult, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

Hoomans. Don’t smoke or vape in the library. It can be hugely disruptive and cause all sorts of problems for people who are only trying to help you.
