Well, prepare yourself for, perhaps, the most soothing story you’re going to read all day on the internet, citing a report from <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Metro</em>on June 3.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">News about a library for cats began with a discussion on <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/37ohpn/my_work_has_a_cat_library_you_can_check_out_a_cat/" target="_blank" class="external" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: none;">reddit</a> days ago. Then, a user named Tiffany Wilson — aka Loocylooo — made a kittens post that has since gone viral.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">She didn’t indicate where she worked, even after several users queried her over it. However, she only said she worked for a “county government” in South New Mexico, and the kitten initiative is housed there.</span></div><div><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; -webkit-hyphens: auto;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tiffany said the cat library for full-grown felines and kittens was hatched by the county’s director of public relations.

Reportedly, the adopt-a-kitten program has been up and running for about an a year now.

The landscaper said it was an accident. However, police didn’t buy the story. He was arrested for nine counts of abuse to animals.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 20px 0px; -webkit-hyphens: auto;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">While the idea of a cat library for kitten lovers sounds counter-intuitive, it reportedly has no negative impact on productivity.
