This week, a total of seven cats began playing the role as ‘intern curators’ at Western Shore Book House, a library located at Tianjin Tower. They’re in charge of comforting the customers or readers who’ve been closed in at home due to Covid-19 outbreak. Having an average age of one year old, they represent a variety of breeds like Chinchilla, Exotic Short-Hair and Ragdoll, according to Asia One.

“On Aug 24, the cats will officially assume their duties at the Western Shore Book House, a library with thousands of books,” said Wang Yan, vice-general manager, Tianjin Tower.
