Save Browser.
This is Browser. For the last six years, he's been hanging out at the public library in White Settlement, a suburb of Fort Worth, where he's been sharing his love of books with visitors.
According to the library website, he loves napping in chairs or lounging on keyboards while visitors try to use the computers.
Browser is so popular that the library even puts out a calendar each year featuring photos of the book-loving kitty.

But now, his place in the library is in jeopardy. The White Settlement City Council declared earlier this month that "City Hall and city businesses are no place for animals." That means Browser can't stay at the library anymore, and he has 30 days to find a new home.
The vote was 2-1 in favor of banning animals from city facilities.
According to the Grizzly Detail weekly newspaper, the vote came after most residents spoke out in favor of letting Browser keep his job at the library.
A petition calling for clemency, which had garnered more than 600 signatures, also failed to move the politicians to reconsider.
Elzie Clements, one of the lawmakers who voted against Browser, admitted that it would hurt his re-election in November.
“I probably just doomed my fate,” he said.
