Literary Cat Reading Philippine National Artist F. Sionil Jose's Novel MASS

My two cats (Che and Tesla) are Literary Cats and I've caught them reading Hemingway, Allende, Dickens, Brainard, Harper Lee, and many others. Che spent all night reading F. Sionil Jose's book, MASS.

Here's an earlier picture of Tesla reading Harper Lee's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.
