A newly opened bookstore in Nanjing, Jiangsu province provides good news for book lovers who also love cats. The special bookstore is a joint venture between Xinhua Bookstore and a kitty café. More than 20 pure-bred cats can be seen in this store and they seem meek to customers.

The bookstore's staff said the cats are well-behaved and will not tear books and provide good company to customers. The bookstore said they will use some of their income to save stray cats.
